Dry Pants/Jacket Preventing a wet butt - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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,

The products are:

http://www.amazon.com/Nikwax-Direct-...9475880&sr=8-3

http://www.amazon.com/Revivex-Outerw...9475921&sr=1-2

http://www.aerostich.com/granger-sup...r-fabrics.html

So does anyone have any input on the above 3 products?

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.
