Question on waders and noise

[donaldsizemore]

I've been fishing a bit lately for smallies and breaking in my new waders (Dryft pant waders). They are pretty loud, but getting better as I wear them more. That said, they aren't going to be quiet. The Simms G3 pants I used (borrowed) were about the same for noise, especially going through brush.

For those that live in their waders during a hunt, how much does this matter?

I hated noisy gaiters when I was bowhunting
