Packable Waders

[BoomFlop]

I'm looking for packable waders to cross a shallow river on my western hunts. Knee high would probably work. Would like them to be as light as possible. Also, do not need quality or durability really. Just need to cross a river that is 20 ft wide.

Thoughts, ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Wiggys waders are real good,light ,compact and used them crossing water way up north on my sheep hunts.

Buy stocking foot if you need them to pack away small. Frog toggs makes some hip boots and they are pretty good.

Maybe think about buying a package of the toughest, thick plastic garbage bags to slip your legs in and cross the creek. Bags are extremely light and can be stuffed into a small pocket on your pack or pants. very simple and useful.

I have a pair of the knee high waders and love them I have packed them all around the A-B Wilderness for years and they work great. I just returned from 10 days and 72 miles of riding and caught several cutthroat.

Stocking foot would be the lightest but you would need to bring boots as well. Frogg toggs makes some hip boots that look pretty light.

If the water is truly only knee high, you could get away with some knee high waterproof gaiters providing the boots you are wearing are waterproof. They are also handy if you are walking through tall wet grass or snow.
