I am new to Kayak fishing, so please help me on this. Can I wear wader during the cold winter? Is it safe? Thanks. I think I would buy myslf a wet suit. It gives you better boyancy should you fall out.

Most of the important points have been covered. My .02 cents worth: Agree that if your feet are cold, you will be miserable, so I double up on wool socks when it's really cold. Which reminds me, make sure your footwear is big enough to fit over the wader's booties, which are usually neopreme (even on breathable waders). Your outer footwear needs to be at least a size or two bigger than your normal shoe size, especially when you start layering socks.
Also, when paddling in cold weather, we usually have a dry-sealed set of clothing in case the unthinkble happens and you get wet. This is more important if you're not within easy access to civilization.

I think I would buy myslf a wet suit. It gives you better boyancy should you fall out. I have both breathable and neoprene waders and have never had any problems. Then again, I've never fallen in. While the waders of death scenario has been disproven, it seems that they still could fill up and might impede your ability to swim. Sometimes I think that for really cold water a 4+ mm farmer john wetsuit underneath everything else might be the best option. Yes you'll be cold if you go in, but there probably isn't any better/more foolproof way to keep your core temp from dropping in case you do have to make a long swim.

Those type of gloves are pretty good. I have a pair, and I like them. When I can stand it, I don't wear gloves and warm my hands up every ten casts. However, when I can't make ten casts without warming my hands, I wear these gloves.
