I have the now discontinued Simms guide waist-highs. They are great and I've never needed more on my home streams. I also use the Patagonia Deep Wading Jacket, which is cut short, but still provides enough coverage - although I did buy an XXL which is a full 2 inches longer than a large, and I've learned to bend at the waist to net a fish in the rain. You are best served by trying the outfit on before buying to see if it would work for you.
