Shades, I've got a great tip for hard to put on or pull off waders. Use the plastic grocery bags over your feet. The waders are a breeze to get in and out of. Also a way to get multiple uses out of those hated grocery bags. You might get a little extra condensation that way, but in neoprene booties like the Simms, you get a little condensation anyway. I think this also eliminates creating leaks from trying so hard to pull them off or on. Sorry for the thread hijack.
