Jimmy, the breathable waders allow you to actually not sweat too much, you may still sweat in them but not too much. The neoprane (wetsuit material) may make you sweat a lot. When you sweat you are very likely to get cold as soon as your activity subsides, like when you stop paddling and just sit in your kayak. The little water booties are great for extra foot warmth and protection of the wader feet. Sports authority sells some for $8. These will not last many years but for 8 bucks?

Seriously, don't worry about the safety thing of the waders, you WILL always wear a PFD. You and I have heard and read enough stories of near misses to not wear one. Its not just for when you fall off your yak, its when you become some boaters' speedbump.

Tight lines, Matt
