Waders in the surf?

Hi folks,
I'd be interested to know your thoughts on wearing chest waders when
beach fishing. I use them all the time fishing rivers and lochs but
there the water is pretty calm. I always wear an automatic life jacket
too.
But what about on a storm beach with a fair swell running? Would I be
better off with an immersion suit?
Thanks in advance.



if you get water in them, when fall or knocked over,
they make you too heavy to climb back up.
thats the danger with thigh or chest waders.
there is a school of thought that they are death traps in surf.
just a matter of time before an accident.
much better off with a one piece Floatation suit.
and your inflatable life vest ontop if do a lot of wading.
