Are the turtleskins waterproof? I meant to ask that earlier in the thread. I don't see it in the description anywhere online
I would say they are highly water-resistant. I've run across small creeks
that were 10-12 inches deep with them and some gore-tex leather boots
and I never got wet and water ran right off. Mine fit around my boot snugly at the bottom. This is one reason I wouldn't want to cut the elastic at the bottom. I've also walked through about a half-mile of 12-14" tall
wet grass and they finally soaked through and got wet.
They do dry fairly quickly. I love them - they never ride up, and most of the time you forget you're wearing them. One other reason I like them
way better than snake boots is that if you hunt until 12-1 o'clock and it gets hot, and you then have a long walk out on a gravel or forest service road where you can see there are no snakes in the road, you can take them off for the walk out.
They will make your legs sweat a bit during the hunt.
