Ah yeah, I was a commercial lobsterman, and my Grundens worked to limit the fish smell and save the clothes I had on underneath from bait stench.. They DO NOT keep you dry, and in fact make you wetter, they are horribly uncomfortable, and they DO NOT breathe hence why they are wet and extremely uncomfortable.....
Commercial fishing gear would be my absolute last choice unless I was handling bait...
Sounds like a lot of extreme weather military gear I had the copious opportunity to experience at tax payer expense....
