However, the bag with independent room to store wet waders seems to be more beloved by the anglers. Most wader duffels have a separate and ventilated bottom compartment which can keep all the gear in the upper compartment dry.
Considering there being a part with independent zip of the wader duffel bag, the designers love to add some special design in the bottom room like a cloth bag attached to one bottom side which can better store the wet waders and prevent mud or debris from the waders.
