        <![CDATA[ I have been thinking about buying some chest waders. What are the best type to get. Stocking feet or with boots. And if you buy stocking feet do you have to get boots the next size up, or do they allow for that. Any help would be great.

Thanks ,

I've done safety courses and one of them involved (it sounds crazy, I know...) jumping into a swimming pool with waders and wellies (at different times, of course) and what we should do if we found ourselves in this predicament in a &quot;real&quot; situation (i.e. fishing, falling in one of the big cages on a salmon farm, etc.).<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Neoprene chesties will give you extra buoyancy in much the same way that a wet suit will, if you do go over the trick is not to panic, go onto your back and use your arms to guide yourself into slack shallow water, don't try to swim as its a waste of time, let the current do the work for you. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Great thread - but I am worried that I am missing something here with regard to the safety aspect? Surely if you do go over then the water in the waders is no heavier than that outside the waders so you are not going to sink like a stone? With a tightened belt then water is not going to get in too quickly so the air should allow you to float for a while! I did some tests in a swimming pool and did not find it too daunting! Obviously fast flowing water is a different ball game as is boggy... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have found the information on here most helpful.  Many thanks to all.  Am I correct in thinking some waders (or anglers?) come with a chest belt to attempt to prevent them filling up if you go over in the water?<br>
<br>
In addition I presume you would recommend a life vest?  They come in different specifications of ooomph.  What spec would you recommend?  Max oomph or is that for torrential spate rivers and the salmon boys only? ]]></description>

I managed to get a couple out by going up the bank keeping my rod high as possible really tightning up as... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I dont think anyones said it yet (if u have im sorry) but wading can be very dangerious, life threating in fact, if you work into off shallow ledge into a deep hole (deeper than you) your waders will bascily fill up and its bye bye as u willnt be able to get out of them. Im sure its all common sense and im sure you already know all of this anyway but i think its worth saying.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dan, Steve, Paul, B115ster, Thank you all, for your pearls of wisdom.  It has given me quite a bit to think about. As this is something that will take some carefull research. I will make do with some thigh waders until i have the chesty thing worked out.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi mate<br>
<br>
first, the offer b115ter took is a great deal, and you won't go wrong with that - wish I had the money, I'd buy some too!<br>
<br>
More generally, here are some points I think are important. I use chest waders every week, because I took up fly fishing in the close season to keep me sane.<br>
<br>
1. What do you want chest waders for? If you are going that deep, is it to fish, or simply for access? Flowing water that is chest deep can take you down at the slightest imbalance... ]]></description>

<br>
Go for stockingfoots: easier to get on and off, offering you the choice of just what footwear you're going to put into the water / walk about in.<br>
<br>
Wading boots: order one size larger than your shoe size, remebering too that an American sizes are one size smaller than ours - e.g. I take a size-8 shoe, so when I buying a pair of Simms boots the other year, I ordered US size 10 (the size on the box) which is equivalent to a UK size 9.<br>... ]]></description>
