Suggestions for long fishing pants - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Patagonia Quandry pants. They’re light weight hiking pants with a DWR coating, so the water just beads up and rolls off. They’re also SPF 50, and the fabric has some stretch, so they’re very comfortable all day. I usually kayak in shorts, but have used these a few times. I can actually wade into the surf and launch and the pants come out of the water dry.

I have long worn ripstop cargo pants I got on amazon.
TheyÂ’re great, but can hold a bit of moisture if I take a wave going out early.

Recently, I switched to leggings from coolibar under board shorts.
Great for UPF, breathable when itÂ’s hot, quick to dry, and warm in the morning.

These NRS splash pants are really nice. I pretty much wear waders 10 months of the year. I'll wear some thermal underarmor tights and boardshorts under the waders so as soon as I get hot I can just take off the shell and be comfy in the sun.

X2 on the NRS Endurance pants. I have been using those for 5 years when the water is cold or mostly when the wind is blowing and just having board shorts on makes the legs get cold. I have a pair of waders but only use those a hand full of time each year. Living in San Diego we are spoiled cause we almost don't have winters.
