kayak clothing

As I get closer to pulling the trigger, from the photos I see posted, a lot of you are not going out with just shorts and t-shirts - I wouldn't either, the water is cold. Are you using waders? or ? - I'm thinking the farmer john's would be good..

breathable waders and a paddle jacket are what most wear.

Ahh, how I long for those cold San Diego fishing sessions.
I've gotten around to some kayak fishing locations that are a bit colder than old SD and did a little write-up on kayak fishing wear.
Looking forward to getting back in the boardshorts..........

Check out Bass Pro Shops, they have some Chest waders for under $70 fully water proof with the belt, and booties. OEX Mission and Kerney Mesa both have great jackets and the PFDs are priced right also.

Waders are ok. Not as comfortable as dry pants, Kokatat makes dry pants with socks or without, I prefer the ones with the socks, The mid chest dry pants are more comfortable than the waders and make it alot easyer to unload that 24oz of coffee. They also make them with a zipper! The Kokatat pant are more money but well worth it.

I like my hodgman breathable stocking foot waders. Harder to pee though.

Sports authority carries them for about $100. Every couple of weeks they have a coupon on their website that is $25 off of a $100 purchase. Not a bad deal- and you can try them on there to figure out your size/ if you like them.

All this talk about pee-ing has got me thinking about upgrading my waders. They work fine and are quite comfy but when nature calls, they are a bit difficult.

Anyone have an opinion on the best value in a zippered wader? Those dry pants look interesting as well but that brand is usually quite expensive.

Wade in guys, (and ladies).

I have the Hodgman Weir waders. After 4 years of use (exclusively on the kayak) they have developed multiple leaks, including the seams down the leg. It's time for a new pair.
