    I know this has probly been a post but i wanted some ideas on what type of cold weather gear would be good for the up and coming months?

    Waders with belt w/ neoprene socks, Belt, and a drytop remember to layer. Test out your setup in shallow water making sure it doesn't leak. There are several informative youtube videos as well

      I do pretty much what Pinch said. Layers are definitely important. I've been out in really cold weather and was overheating so you need to be able to take off a layer or two. I wear a Frog Toggs dry top which offers no real warmth but I can wear it all year if I want to stay dry and layer beneath based on the weather...same thing with the breathable waders.

        I've been trying to get some detailed info on cold weather gear as well.
        Here is a link to a good article I just found.

            My cold water gear is the same as Pinch's. I also wear some water boots over my neoprene wader booties.

              I do pretty much the same. I use stocking foot kokatat wader pants and a splash top. Both the pants and the top has neoprene at the waist to get a seal. I also agree, layer, layer and layer. However, don't wear too much. If you sweat, you will get cold. For my shoes, I use an inexpensive pair of Bass Pro reef walkers over the stocking foot, with wool sock inside the waders. I also wear an inflatable PFD with all of those added closes. Otherwise, too much bulk.

              PS: For anyone small or medium there are some splash tops on clearance at West Marine in Annapolis. I got mine there last year for $54, for a splash top that originally sold for $250. You have to shop the deals. I have not seen any large sizes on clearance this year so far.

                      Same as Pinch's. Make sure you get waders with a front zipper for those essential moments when you need to bleed the lizard.

                        I have breathable wader pants with stocking feet. I pair these with a dry top with neck and wrist gaskets. The dry top has two sections, one goes below the pants the other on the outside. The over layer has a neoprene gasket material and straps to cinch it tight. I've been in water up to my armpits with out feeling a drop! Not looking forward to having to wear it all the time again.

                        The zipper is a good idea, it's not much fun trying to take a leak. Also, if you have a hobie, I think neoprene will be to warm.
