I am just curious, which waders are these? I generally don't take waders because combined with seperate wading boots, it is just too much bulk and weight. But if I do then I just take my Orvis hip-waders-- I certainly have no need for full chest-highs on these waters and I haven't found anything lighter or more compact.

I have found cheap bottles at REI: http://www.rei.com/category/40006333

A more expensive, but sturider option can be found at Gossamee Gear, MLD, Z-packs, BPL etc

I don't know the brand name of the waders. I call them lightweight because they are about half the weight on my insulated waders. When fishing in them, you half to layer up underneath or get out of the water every 10-15 minutes to warm up.

They're light enough that I would pack them on a BP trip if I were headed to area that required wading....but it hasn't come up yet.
