flotation suit or waders

[skiny]

me ,warm n dry.as suggested floaty suit n a warm pair of boots.you can always save for a pair of chesty's when your more confident and go wading

[steppeydog]

a use neoprene chesties and an imax flotation jacket for the winter n never been cold for the past 2 winters but you do sweat a bit if you have t walk far but its worth it t be warm

[The disposaleer]

dont know what I should go for, I tend to fish off piers but do enjoy fishing off the beach and would like to get more into this, but am sick of running away from the waves like a little girl, any advice would be great i've got about £40-50 to spend I know that is nt much, but I am currently trying to save to upgrade all my gear from the basic / entry level gear I started with.

All right mate

Personally, chest waders are out for me; after falling over in the surf in my youth and having those neoprene mothers fill right up nearly ended me. They weighed about 3 tonnes when full, not that easy trying to haul yerself outa the frothy stuff. And I looked a total berk too.
If on a budget, and your not intending any actual wading, try TK Max for ski wear; I got a seriously warm and breathable pair of sallopettes for 25 well spent pounds. The jackets are about £40/£50.
If your not on a budget and want the safest option, I reckon it'd gotta be a flotation suit.
It's a bit of a personnal one, and it's really down to yourself; but take it from some one who surfs as well as tries in vain to catch fish, the sea really does have a mind off it's own

Stay safe mate
