Bart Durham Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Great question. I just purchased some wading pants, thinking these may be better for kayaking. Thinking of getting some x large tennis shoes for comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 What exactly are paddle pants? Personally I think waders in a kayak are a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg S Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Terry, Paddling pants are like waders without feet. You can try to go waterproof on the feet or not, depending on the weather and your preference. I asked because I don't like being wet or cold, and often wear waist high waders in my kayak. I am a little concerned that this could be a drowning hazard if dumped.They also tend to hold air pockets, which can be uncomfortable. I did take a dramatic spill one time with chest waders (with a waist belt). Even though I was in the water a minute or two, I was dry. No water got in, but it got me thinking.

Ben K. Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 If its too cold to wet wade I'm in waders, If not I'm wet wading. Never had an issue with waders in a kayak and and I don't believe them to be a drowning hazard, especially if you're wearing a belt. Here is perfect demonstration. I also find mine to be very comfortable but that comes down to preference. I personally stick with breathable stockingfoots that have enough space for me to move.

Gregg S Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Enlightening video. I would have to say, in my one experience I got even less water in my waders than he did. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
