I usually stand waist deep. I wear a wader belt over the drytop if I'm going in that deep. The waders are another 18 inches up inside so no water gets in them at all. Where the Simms does fail a bit id around the neck and wrists. The gaskets on me are snug but not uncomfortably tight. So it's more comfortable but when water is all around a small amount goes down my arms or neck. I can live with it. I have had waves break over head and staked 98% dry... but that a wave or two... consistently under water... not sure I'd be that dry. But I am too old to fish that way...
