Default Problem with my new breathable waders

A got a nice pair of airflo stocking foot breathable waders a couple of months back. They are nice and light and very comfortable to wear until you bend and find that there is loads of trapped air in the legs. Any tips lads

Perhaps try putting a few holes in them with a dubbing needle - air might flow more freely .

Squat down and squeeze the air out before fastenning wading belt.

A never had the belt on the last time out mate. A never even thought that if you squeeze the air out and then put the belt on it will stop the air getting back in.

.......... mind you a bit of trapped air when wading in winter does create a bit of a barrier between you and the cold water

I usually squat down as I pull them up squeezing the air out as I pull them up, works for me. Problem is when you fart all session long it gathers you have to be careful when you light a cigarette up Tried the dubbing needle trick too, me legs got wet.

Tend to switch to neoprenes for winter, don't like my bottom half feeling too bouyant when I go in a bit deep.
