Good Morning B.W.E.,



I took the liberty in contacting Kokatat customer service department to find out how i can prevent a dry pants from absorbing water from the kayak seat/ scupper holes.


The e-mail I received from Kokatat was:


Hi Frank,

It is natural for the pants to develop some wear and tear throughout a
season or two of use. You can try using a water repellency application
product such as Nikwax Revivex or Grainger's Water Repellency or you can
always send them in to us for testing/repair. Let me know if you'd like
to do this and I'll get you set up to do so. Regards,

I'm a fan of NikWax. I havent tried the wash in stuff, but I've used nikwax paste on my snowboarding gloves and hunting boots for years and it works great.
