Hip Waders (a.k.a. "hippers") are the best solution if you are going to be targeting smaller rivers and streams. They offer the most mobility possible for longer hikes to fishing spots along with keeping you cool and dry at the same time. The 4-ply nylon upper and 4mm double taped neoprene booties keep you dry and protected. The adjustable nylon belt strap, with quick-release buckles, ensures putting on and removing the wader is quick and simple.
