Wading jacket or dry top

[Riversedge]

As I stated above, I really am trying to avoid going through the "rapids(really just oversized riffles, but they are labeled rapids on maps)". I won't be fishing from the tube, more than likely just using it to get "to and fro". I have 20+ years on the section of river I will be fishing, but acknowledge that not everybody should be doing what I intend to. I am thinking about how to stay as dry as possible, entering and exiting the tube to climb up on the rocks to fish. The river I am talking about is the Potomac.
