I grew up fishing cold water streams in Michigan, I,ve always wore waders with a belt. From my personal experience, its deadly not to wear a proper wader belt. I have gone under on a few ocations in fast flowing water and if I wasn't wearing a belt I wouldnt be here typeing on this post. I wear paddleing pants on the kayak with the built in booties and also wear dive boots over them. I would suggest getting either waders or pants but get the ones with the zipper in the crotch!
