Like this Larry ?
I think they zip up the back ..Was thinking a front zip might be more convient if you catch my drift ...

Check out the Kokatak dry pants with attached feet. Problem with wet suits are once they are wet if you aren't in the water they are cold and uncomfortable.

Ed go to South Shore Divers in Weymouth...just over the Fore River Bridge as you head towards Hull. They have a good selection of Henderson suits! Great prices too and very helpful folks there!

Thanks for starting this thread. I've been trying to figure out what to wear in the spring when the water's cold, but the air temp isn't too bad. I was gonna pick up either a wetsuit or just the bottoms and wear a dry top. I have a pair of Frogg Toggs dry pants that work well at keeping me dry while in the yak, but I'm always looking for something better.

been wearing waders in my boat when its cold
which is dangerous if you go over the side

thanks for the product recommendation

you can either go dry top/dry pant combo, or if you are cheap like me you can go dry top/wader combo. Although I'm looking to "spring" for the dry pants that Kevin mentioned
