A NewB To Float Tubes

First, Thank you for the Addition to the Forum. I am a complete newb to float tubes. My wife ordered me a Classic Accessories Cumberland for my Christmas Present and it's scheduled to arrive on the 24th of November. I live in Southwest Missouri with many places to fish. I will be going through the threads old and new to learn all I can. Looking forward to many years of a new way to fish...

Welcome to the forum so glad you found us and congratulations on your new ride. Enjoy your search and if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you, and yes I will ask questions.

OK I got a question for those of ya'all that use waders. Due to that not so well liked Arthur, Arthuritise fellow, I need insulated waders for the tube. Cold just destroys my knee and ankle on my left leg. Are Neoprene waders warm? or should I add some more insulation???

I fish in Northern Kansas and have both knees replaced. Most of the time my knees are above the waterline, so it hasn’t been an issue for me. I have fished out of a pontoon, a cumberland and a roughneck. I use breathable waders. I have fished into November before. If I was fishing in the mountains. I would probably get some neoprene.

Thank you for the feedback. I had planned on getting the breathable for the warmer months, but already have the neoprene waders, just haven't had the opportunity to use them.

In the cold months Neoprene is I think best and you can add layers underneath your waders to aid in warmth as well.
