Ralph Diaz: Out of curiosity, what is the neoprene thickness of the waders? From my understanding of the cold water workshops that have been run down in the Chesapeake area (Greg Welker or Jack Martin correct me if I am wrong), neoprene wet suits faired poorly when tested in 40 degree water for any length of swimming or hanging out in the water. Ralph Hoehn: Might the answer lie in the different execution of the respective neoprene garments: "Wetsuits" are tight to restrict the flow f water as much as possible. "Waders" are loose fitting, permitting layers of under-garments. Best regards, Ralph C.
