Comfortable, Water-Friendly Pants to Wear Kayaking?
Hi all,
I got burned very badly on my legs the other day during my first time I went kayak fishing, and was wondering if any of you could recommend some good pants. I'd like them to pretty breathable and cool, as well as light. I'd also like to avoid those that would get all soggy and uncomfortable if they are wet. Waders or a wetsuit is a bit too much, as the cold is not an issue, just the sun! Thanks! |

For summer fishing I used to wear a pair of surgical scrubs I picked up in a second hand store. They were cheap, light wieght, kept the sun off, dried fast, and were oh so fashonable. OK skip that last part. They did work pretty well though. I lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina a few summers ago and they work great there for the sun as well as the damn sketters and biting flys. Mike

Just about anything non-cotton should work. I use either a lightweight pair of nylon workout pants or a different set of workout pants that are almost mesh. Both sets keep the sun off and I wear them year round.

Go to Big 5 or REI and look for pants that are made out of the following fabrics.... It is the same fabric that board shorts are made of.
Baja Suede Microfiber Dyna Suede I got a pair of long pants from Old Navy the one time on clearance that would work insane. Good luck. |
