[font "Comic Sans MS"][red][size 3]Welcome Zias. Got a great tube there. If in the future you want to go motorized, I was cleaning out the garage and found my Float Power (a small tube that attaches with straps to your float tube with a battery box and a block for a minn kota), that I really don't need anymore.[/size][/red][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][red][size 3]As far as legs in the water. In a float tube I would suggest wearing waders ( a few lakes around here people have gotten leg itch). I feel though, that all you need is a GOOD pair of breathables (with the roll down to the waist feature for summer). Chest waders come in handy when the weather changes and it gets choppy, even on warm days, to keep you dry. I haven't used neoprene for ten years. Breathables are so versitile, Wear a pair of scrubs, or even shorts in the summer and layer with nylon and fleece or wool in the winter. Note: never wear cotton under breathables, cause you will sweat. And if your ankles feel wet, give it a few minutes and if they are still wet you might have a leak, if they feel dryer, then welcome to neoprene, the booties. Plus they roll up small & you can get them with boot (some with lace up) attached. [/size][/red][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000][size 3]This is just my opinion and I am not trying to disagree with anyone. Just a little FWIW[/size][/#ff0000][/font]
