simms bootfoots rock! ...you can order long leg etc... for custom orders.
simms after sales service/warranty is amazing! Ive had bootfoots for surf/jetty [screw-in cleats available] going on 3yrs now no leaks ,other than the pinholes I made. They replaced both boots after 2years; one sole came off due to sand inching in. They did this for free and repaired the old flipout pocket & pinholes, I didnt even notice! + sent them back to me with a bottle of revivex [gore-tex juice] and a large SIMMS sticker [cool]
I have the jacket as well....
for beach walking breathables are it. for cold adding silks [to keep sweat off]
thermals and sweats does it for me.
using wicking socks keeps your feet feeling warm and dry, the neoprene boot snugs up under water pressure for a tight fit while manouvering around.
I watched a simms wader safety video [they send for free]. They trap air against the body when submersed so you remain bouyant and can swim [breaststroke / backstroke]; they had a 70 yr old guy showing this ! . The key is to ALWAYS use one waist belt. if jetty hopping or wading deep/fast water, wear a second belt you can sinch up to the top of the waders to further reduce water intake if you go in.
