chest waders

How is that possible? It may restrict your movement since you have to move more weight, but the water should be bouyant in water....

think about it this way, take a gallon of water (in a milk container). Dunk it in a pool of water and hold it under the surface... it's not going to sink unless the contents inside are heavier than the water outside (ie. sand, concrete). It may be harder to move around since you have to move a container that is heavier now than with nothing in it, but it shouldn't sink you like an anchor...

(just because I said "heavier" does not mean it will sink. Since the contents on the inside weighs just as much as the contents on the outside, it will not sink)

Anyone else follow me here?

Now as for the suction of getting them off... That is true but if you have a knife handy, just make a cut along the bottom of the leg. That should allow you to pull water in to make up for the space your leg had displaced.
