Illinois, the tethers are a good idea even if the flippers float. I have been caught out on lakes with the weather quickly changes. I was getting blown OUT. I was kicking to come in and my fin came off. I had to seriously chase it down!. I always use tethers now, they are no hassle.
Mac, I hope I am wrong about Hodgemans. Lord knows they are still in business, so, they must be doing something right.
Do an experiment though....try wearing yours at least ONCE a week . Maybe sit in the tube or run through the sprinklers......let us know after say 10 uses how they are holding up[laugh][laugh][laugh]
I do NOT see the need for neoprene unless you already have them. But, I do have them and have not used them in 10 years or when I finally got a fair pair of breathables. And yes I fish year round in the ROCKY MOUNTAINS in them.
