[cool][#0000ff]As others have stated, you do not sit high enough in ANY float tube to get away with wearing hippers. The top of the seat is usually at or above the waterline, but kicking, leaning or navigating will tip the seat enough to get water sloshing around . [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You don't need full chest waders, but anything else can get your behind damp. They do make waist high waders, but in trying them I found them to pull down in the back when you sit. So....I buy chest waders and the cut off the straps and roll them down around my waist...using a quick connect belt to hold them in place. (See attached pic) I hate suspenders.[/#0000ff]
