Salopettes, Dry-Pants and Paddling Legwear
Kayaking and canoeing dry trousers
Often teamed up with a paddling jacket of some description, paddlers will often wear a pair of waterproof trousers to stay warm and dry whilst out on the water. Especially useful for paddling in the UK's colder months, but also for Sit On Top kayakers such as anglers who want to be out all year round, and stay protected from the elements. What sets these aside from ordinary waterproofs are features such as breathable fabrics, built in feet that allow them to be used like flexible, lightweight waders. All the way through to relief zips and jacket compatible waist bands to create a two-piece drysuit. Offering more versatility than a one piece drysuit, most paddlers begin with dry trousers and a jacket to give more flexibility with the ever changing UK weather and conditions.
