waders
Waterproof fishing pants
Waders are waterproof boots that extend up the leg—often to the hip or chest—worn by anglers, hunters, and others who need to stand in water: He pulled on his waders and stepped into the stream.
The word also refers to wading birds like herons and sandpipers, whose long legs suit shallow-water foraging.
