I rarely wear my waders, but when i do it's mid-winter and night time. I layer for the cold, but should invest in a dry top.
Agreed - it would be difficult to get back on the yak - my point is the comments in the video implied you will be pulled down if the waders filled with water (but that was yesterday and I've been forgetting what people are saying lately).
