“Agreed, but the rubber boots attached to your waders aren’t light and cumbersome. once you’re trying to swim rather than walk, that’s where the weight comes in and that’s where the neoprene adds some buoyancy.”

Y’all are crazy, going in over your head in waders is practically a death wish. Heavy boots and throw in some panic and your dead, kid in the delta drowned with his waders on last year while duck hunting and my boys do not wear waders while riding in the boat to the duck spot.

How many drowned in swimming suits? obviously short pants are a killer if you get near the water following this line of reasoning..

I challenge you to go throw any set of waders you like in the water and see what happens, I strongly suggest you do it in a pool so they don't float off.

I would also be curious as to how you two believe concrete and steel ships are able float but rubber boots are heavy in the water and drag you down.

It is all about displacement and the SG of almost all rubbers is less than 1 hence they will float in water.

nearly all of these types of drownings would have drowned with or without waders.. was the boy in the delta wearing a PFD?

do your boys wear PFDs when water is over their heads?

going in such water without a pfd on is a death wish....
