My Assault, Renegade, Predator I agree, bum "can" get wet. Framed Pontoon.....never. Maybe a splash. Even on my 12" diameter Cardiac Canyon. You ride over the waves.
White water on rivers I can see a wet rear or lap and I would wear chest waders too, but more for the get out of the boat river fishing.
But I have fished 5' waves on Henry's and Strawberry and no water on the seat. on any of my pontoons.
I wear waist highs for rainy fishing and it is good if you lay fish in your lap, but Hippers work just fine for me.
But to help with this decision, GOOD breathable hip waders are going to cost you over $100. even with no boot attached. This is a BIG reason not more use them.
