: If you have to wet exit wearing tall boots the boots will fill up
: with water and come off when you try to swim.
I thought about that, but these are really snug all the way down, seal real well at the top (though a dribble gets down) with a soft rubber seal and have angle/top cinches...but yeah still want to stay in the boat! Will do some more swimming with them tomorrow when launching to see how long it takes to get a significant amt of water in them and will let you know.
