G'day all this is my first post so please forgive me if I forget something criticle!
I am looking at buying some dry pants for the coming colder months and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to buy. I would prefer an intergrated boot, price is no matter really when it comes to comfort on the yak!
Cheers damien.

Re: Keeping dry.
Welcome to the forum, Damien.
I'm not sure whether the above searches picked these up but between them they covers the basics of staying warm.

Re: Keeping dry.
Welcome Damien. To save you a lot of reading of past posts I'll jump straight to the answer you're after:
Kokotat HYdrus 3L Tempest pants with sock; or
Lovig Kayak Fishing Dry Pants
Both are available from kayak retailers - particularly Hobie dealers. The Lovigs are slightly cheaper at sub-$200 with the Kokotat a bit over $200. These are the only two that experienced guys generally recommend. Check them out and decide what suits you.
Also take the time to read through the links that Babylon and SteveR posted, the information will make you more comfortable but could also save your life.

Re: Keeping dry.
Just got my Lovig pants from SLHobie.
Cheaper (barely but a $ saved is a $ earnt)
Reinforced areas i.e. on the bum
Has a leg pocket (handy)
...and if you are a little solid like me they have normal and wide/stumpy fit
The kokatats are nice too. I have some Croc Off Roads for matching footwear which seem good

Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.

Re: Keeping dry.
Go try them on, don't guess your size. In particular compare how well the waist tabs hold. I found the Lovigs wanting after a fair amount of wear. Cant comment on the kokotats, but never heard any complaints about them
