Waders vs boots?

[abbie mcmullen]

Hi y'all! I recently braved the dropping temps to do a little fishing on Mossy Creek. It's obviously over kill to wader up with my chest waders for most of the small streams I tend to fish; and I can only layer so much under them! However I feel like tall boots just won't do the trick. Does anyone run pant waders and love them? Have any you
would recommend?
Thanks!

I'm on my second pair of Hippies made by Chota. Reasonable price, and so much more convenient than chest waders. I actually tend to use them more than my chest waders. I added carabiner clips to the elastic drawstring so I can hook them to a belt loop to keep them up, rather than relying on the drawstring tension (which tends to be uncomfortable).

Calling Evan... how are the Red Balls hippers working out?

I had orvis waders that can be worn as pants or chest waders.  I would try on different brands.  Fit is everything.

Abbie, I wouldn't recommend wading on mossy creek. the creek bed is a mad of clay and you'll almost certainly sink as soon as you step foot in the stream. If you're looking for an alternative to full chest waders some companies make convertible chest waders that will fold down and become pant waders. hope you find this helpful.
