I use the Dan Bailey hippers about 50% of the time.
When it's hot they are cooler, but your rear end can get wet. Not a big deal if weather is pleasant. Their biggest advantage is when it comes time to take a leak - way easier than chest waders.
I wear chest waders on any river or when I think it will be cold or very windy on the lake, but I prefer wearing the hippers.
If you can keep your seat dry or don't mind a little water on your hind end, then hippers are awesome.
