A water-resistant lower
torso and leg garment
system such as a
wader or bib that includes a suspension
system, a set of leg regions, and a
torso region. The
torso region is disposed over a portion of the torso of the user such that the front, two sides, and back of the torso region correspond to the ventral, lateral, and dorsal sides of a user respectively. The torso region further includes a novel rear storage
system including a proximal surface substantially disposed adjacent to the dorsal side of the user, a distal surface disposed distally from the proximal surface with respect to the user, an internal region between the proximal and distal surface, and at least one opening between the proximal and distal surface to the internal region.
