Actually....chest waders full of water and chest waders not full of water
weigh the same in the water. You will not sink to the bottom any faster
if
the waders are full of water. What will help is the amount of air trapped
inside the waders so it stands to reason that if the waders are full of
water there will be no trapped air inside the waders. A good solid belt
to
hold the air inside the waders will help to float a fisherman. Too much
air
and I would guess that the fisherman could float "head down" in the water
but a personal floatation device would help to keep the fisherman's head
out
of the water. With trapped air in the waders and a PFD, a floating
fisherman could even become a good device to sit on and fish from.

Chest waders?? Isn't that the worst thing you can do? If the ice
breaks
and
your chest waders fill up with water then you'll sink right to the
bottom.
