I am in need of some recommendations on what waders work best for duck/goose hunting. I have never been and am trying to decide between chest waders and hip waders. I'm kind of leaning toward the hip waders because I dont want to have the shoulder straps hindering my ability to move, however the chest waders would make it possible to get into deeper water if needed. It's a lot of money to spend on something just to make the wrong decision. So what works best for everyone else?
Here are the two I am thinking about.

I would go with the full on chest waders. It's better to have it and not need it that to need it and not have. Plus the chest waders will keep you warmer out in the cold weather. I haven't noticed the straps ever getting in the way much.

The full chest waders get my vote. When walking throught the swamps it realy sucks to drop into some really soft mud and be over your waste in water. Especialy if you only have hip waders. I would also recomend something with at least 1000 grams of thinsulate. Nothing worse than your toes feeling like they are going to fall of from being so cold while your standing there waiting for the birds to fly.
