These dry pants do exactly as advertised. It keeps me dry. Easy to put on. Only had them a few weeks so can't vouch for durability. Time will tell.

Pants keep me warm and dry while kayak fishing in cold weather. I have been able to marry the pants up with a Kokatat splash top, but have not tested the seal between the two. Waiting for warmer water/weather.

Got these for kayak fishing. I'm pairing them with NRS attack boots and so far so good. Thought they would be better than waders. Can't wait to get the jacket

Comments about Kokatat Tempest Paddle Pants with Socks:

It has been great for launching kayak in cold water. But I haven't been able to test its water tightness with the Kokatat Tempest matching top. I purchased the set hoping that they would be a low-cost alternative to a full dry suit. I didn't want to spend $900 for the seldom occasion when I would actually be a ways off shore in cold water in adverse conditions. For that rare outing I'm hoping the Tempest pant and top will suffice though not being a completely dry suit. In the mean time I use these pants on local lakes and rivers.

failed miserably

Comments about Kokatat Tempest Paddle Pants with Socks:

Well, I hate to wear this junk, I ended up going with just a shorts.

first of all it does not have the thing that connects pants to drytop like other legit drypants supposed to have, so water gets in a lot easier

the built in sock looks cool in the picture but it's not so comfortable and when the water gets in, (it will definitely get in for sure), there's no way to get it out unless taking off the whole pants,

so every time I wear it I ended up walking with load water in my feet by the end of the day

and it's not so durable too, despite being rarely used it, I managed to make one tiny hole to it, after 6 months, not sure how.

so overall, failed miserably.

Q:
Cotton socks were very damp after 4 hours kayak fishing. Wore water shoes and sat side saddle for awhile while fly fishing. Are booties waterproof? I bought pants last year and have used about 12 times.
Asked on 4/29/2012 by Glenn from Plymouth, MA

1 answer
- A:
  1. Cotton socks are inappropriate for water sports because they will not dry quickly.
  2. Booties like neoprene boots are not waterproof. They are wet suite boots that will allow water into the boot but keep the water warm near the foot inside the boot.
  Answered on 5/1/2012 by Steve from Campmor
Q:
Most of the reviews are favorable, but a couple indicate that these are not fully waterproof, as in the seat got wet, or the socks allow water through. Are these simply quality control or damaged product issues? Im looking for an alternative to spending mucho $$$ on a dry or semi-dry suit, but I need to stay dry when mated with a semi-dry top (for instance the tempest paddle jacket, with the double skirt/neo attachment). Not for rolling, but if I take a wet exit and am in the drink while I get my paddle float inflated and set my paddle in the rigging, is water going to spill in through the waist? Does having the top on make water coming in less likely or make no difference?

Thanks!

- A:
  The fabric used for these pants and jackets is completely waterproof and seam sealed so you should not get any leakage coming through the material itself. Is it possible for the water to seep in around the waist and leg and arm openings, yes but the more secure you have the openings the less likely that is to happen. Certainly having the top and pant will make the whole thing more secure and having a one piece suit without an opening at the waist would do the best job of keeping you completely dry.

Q:
I am a borderline M to L. Waist 34 inseam 30. Depending on what is worn beneath the pants, it is better to get extra room, What is typically worn beneath the pants?

- A:
  Size up to a L. This is your shell, so long underwear and another layer like a North Face TKA pant or a stretch polarfec pant in cold weather.

On your XXL what size are the socks ? I have small feet size 9. Will they fit me.

- A:
  The socks would be too large. You may want to use a neoprene sock or bootie to keep the sock from moving around on you.

I noticed that the kokatat Tempest Paddle Pants size listed that you have XXL . However the Kokatat size chart only goes to XL.
