going for a swim?
years ago i was swept into a deep pool while trout fishing in georgia. even with a wading belt, waders fill very fast and provide zero flotation. it's possible to swim, but you wouldn't want to do it for long. i now wear a simms dry top. i was completly submerged by a wave last sunday and popped up dry as a bone except my head and hands of course. i still wear a wading belt with the dry top, sort of an insurance device, and on the jettys i also wear a manual inflatable pfd. a dry top is a very good investment in your comfort as well as saftey.
