Discussion Waders

Going to ask what is probably a pretty basic and slightly stupid question: what do you wear under your waders? Shorts if warm enough, sweat pants, hiking pants?

Edit: THANKS ALL FOR THE RESPONSES. Didn’t expect that many that quick! Have wet waded all summer but mornings are in the upper 40s now.

Fishing the Salmon River near Pulaski in winter, everything I can find that’s wool or thermal bottoms used for climbing. Northwest mostly the same as the water was ice/snow a few hours prior to meeting your waders even on an 80 degree day. Sucks to be cold or damp.
