WOW!... Best demo I've seen, note that being able to perform a self rescue is KEY. No matter what you wear.

No current or 3-4 ft seas in that pool. Not a real litmus test

Dude... he SWAM in them w/no belt. W/waders, surf top, belt, PFD... I'm confident in any seas I would venture out in. Again, being able to do a self rescue is key. Also, w/the pfd... I'm SURE I could jetison my waders if by some freak accident they filled up.
What exactly do you think will happen?
1. IF the waders fill it will have NO impact while IN the water.
2. IF they fill AND you are wearing your PFD you WILL float.
3. IF they fill AND you are unable to get back in your Yak, pop the suspenders, pop the belt, and pull off the waders. and GET BACK IN THE YAK!
4. I can't stress enough how important it is to GET BACK IN THE YAK before you get too cold. That should be your FIRST priority. If it is, and you are wearing the proper gear (see above) you'll be out of the water before ANYTHING can happen.
5. IF you get seperated from your boat, AND it's cold, , AND your waders fill you MAY be in a bad situation... In that case nothing short of a dry suit will be of any use to you. If that concerns you the $$$ for a dry suit is inconsequential.
