Recycling Waders?

[Green Light]

After many new moons, I am finally retiring my pair of waders. :-(

My new waders arrived. :-)

Is there a way to recycle waders?

I actually thought about cutting the feet off my old ones and making a lightweight rainproof bib for when you need it.

I had neoprene waders and when I got a new pair I gut them at the thigh and made a nice pair of hip boots. They work well.

I cut them knee high and use them for when I kayak.
Put on an old pair of sneakers (velcro strap ones) and my feet stay dry every time.

You guys got me thinking. May cut feet off old neoprenes and use them while ice fishing. Just cut a slot to piss through. Their buoyancy should help in getting out of water if you fall through.
