I think it's a great idea. I frequently hike into great spots and we're NOT talkin paths here.Deadfalls, ruts rocks etc. Sometimes for a few miles. I couldn't even think of carrying my waders or hiking in them. This product may not be super durable but all I need is something lightweight that I could slip on when I FINALLY get to my spot. Till now, I usually wet wade cause there ain't no way I'm carrying extra weight.
