What do y'all wear? Sometimes more is not always better until you walk past the level of your hip boots which I have been guilty of too many times. Be more careful or just suck it up and wear chest waders?
Thanks

I wear Hippers as much as possible for the comfort and ease of movement. Usually you pull up on your pants to sit down, with Chesters, you have to pull down for room in the knees. If water depth is unknown, Hippers are a craps shoot. I always carry a razor sharp folding knife when in Chesters so I can get them off in an emergency. Get waders with the canvas outer, they are so much more resistant to cutting and tears. Wet rubber cuts like butter. I treat them with Armour All, Inside and Out when brand new, and several times during their life, really helps them last. Store them hanging in a cool dark enviornment

Chest waders if you are setting the den entrances before freeze up.(beaver trapping)
I wear hip waders on the line in fall a fair bit mostly to keep the legs dry when walking in the wet bush or for bank or dam setting.
