A wader garment is provided, wherein the wader garment includes buoyant elements that may be employed so that a wearer may float in water, should the need arise, and further includes means for providing a substantially water-tight seal between the waders and a wearer at an upper portion of the waders. The wader garment may also include drainage valves on the leg portions to drain water from waders, if necessary, as well as a urination valve that may be in an open position or a closed position.
