I'm thinking the big problem with waders is being in flowing drink, along with hypothermia if far from help.
If the waders fit properly, and you're using the belt, I don't see what the issue would be in moving water?
And if I were at risk of being hypothermic, I'd give my left nut to have the luxury of being in the thickest neoprene waders known to mankind! Get wet with no waders, and unless you start a fire pronto, you will soon be dead! BTDT. Went for a swim in Klutina lake, and if my partners and I hadn't the ability to start a fire, we would have croaked before the sun set that evening. While standing around the fire naked, and drying our clothes, I can assure that all of us would have loved to have had a pair of chest high neoprenes to at least wear while the clothes dried.
