I put these on at home and wear them the whole time until I land the kayak at the end of the day. I throw them in the trunk for the drive home, just to minimize the amount of sand in the car. They are great if you have to park a ways from the launch point and wheel your kayak down the sidewalk or such. I also wear them when I go surf fishing from the beach or whenever else I think I might encounter water -- boats, exploring tide pools, etc.

Thanks for the info!

Do you find that they dry pretty quickly after you launch? Or do they stay a little wet all day?
