Comfortable, Water-Friendly Pants to Wear Kayaking? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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

alpine desgin pants.
got 2 pair at sportmart for like $40.00. They dry fast and the legs zip off to become shorts.

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.
