He wore them to see how they worked, if they sagged or got in the way.

Nice job! I could use a pair, takes me about 8 mins to get from my car to my office building, and with all the rain we've been having the puddles are horrendous. My pants are always wet.

The pattern is rather easy.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Cool idea! I wear knee high rubber boots...my problem is more mud than snow. I like the way your DH is "posing"...too funny!

It is a waterproof shell with a canvas lining which I plan on spraying some waterproofing on them later today.
Very clever..good job!
