Product Description

Hydrus 3L (3-layer) is a waterproof breathable three-layer fabric designed to keep paddlers completely dry in extreme conditions.

The outer layer is super-tough woven nylon, providing long lasting abrasion protection and features a durable water repellent (DWR) coating which repels water. The mid-layer utilises a proprietary polyurethane micro-porous coating, allowing water vapour to transfer from the inner layer to the outer. The soft, knit polyester inner layer is engineered to help manage moisture, wicking it from the inside out.

The result is an exceptionally waterproof, breathable alternative that stays dry and comfortable. 

  • Hydrus 3L socks with gravel guard
  • Re-sized (5cm larger) XXL waistband
  • Neoprene waistband with adjustable “hook & loop” tabs
  • Factory sealed seams

These pants are ideal for sea kayaking and kayak fishing - they will keep you warm and dry in the cooler weather - keeping off the wind chill you get with damp thermals from launching and landing your kayak.

Look after the socks - wear footwear over the top to protect them.

After use, make sure your pants are well rinsed and hung loose to dry. Check additional care instructions on label.

Colour: Some are Dark brown-grey. Some sizes are now a paler grey colour.
Relief Zip: No

Relief Zip is available on Tempest Pants on a separate listing

KOKATAT MEASURING GUIDELINES

Do not measure yourself. Measurements should be performed by an authorized and trained Kokatat retailer. Failing that, someone you trust to get in close with a cloth measuring tape.

Just relax! Look forward and stand up straight with your feet about 12 inches apart. 
Don’t move around and look straight ahead. Stop looking at your measuring partner or the floor. Remember, relax!
Take measurements in - preferably washed - street clothes and bare feet.
DO NOT make allowances for insulation layers under the suit. Kokatat patterns are designed to allow for adequate layering under dry suits. 
All circumferences should be taken at the widest point. If you happen to be measuring your wife or mother-in-law, you may want to refer to this as… oh, forget it.
Again… measure twice, cut once. 

The following measurements should be taken on the person’s front side:

WAIST: Measure just above your hip bone where your body bends when bending sideways.

HIPS: Take this measurement from the side to ensure the correct placement of the tape. Place the tape around the hips and across the widest point of the buttocks. This might be a good time to come up with a descriptive word other than “widest”. Make sure that all pockets are empty.

INSEAM: This is also referred to as the “crotch to ankle bone” measurement for those very secure individuals. Have the person stand with legs straight and feet about 12" apart. Have them hold their hand to the side, with palm facing out. Place the end of the measuring tape between their first two fingers. Ask them to place the hand with the tape in their crotch area, snug up against the body. Just relax! Stretch the tape straight down your ankle bone. Ask the person to look straight ahead, turn their head to the right and cough.

GIRTH: This measurement is for the entire torso length. Place the tape at the base of the neck on top of the shoulder. Run the tape down the front, through the crotch and up the back to the starting point on the shoulder.

  1. Excellent Dry Pants 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 23rd Sep 2022

    I purchased two of these dry pants for my wife and I to be used on our Hobie Tandem Island. We used them for the first time last week in wet and ruff seas and found the pants kept us both warm and dry for the whole trip. I highly recommend these pants for use in open Kayaks.


  2. Great value for money! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th Jul 2021

    I’ve ordered these pants recently for my work on open-style tour boats in Tasmania’s south east. The material is quite breathable while not letting any water in and they’re comfortable enough to wear all day long. So far I’m very happy with what seems to be a solid quality product. Thanks again for a prompt delivery guys! It’s made a difference!


  3. Excellent. 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 25th Jul 2020

    I've only been on the water in my kayak wearing these once for 3 hours. They were comfortable and did what I was hoping for....dry and warm.


  4. Brilliant - High quality and comfortable 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 18th Jun 2018

    Just worn for a two-day winter fishing trip in the Snowies instead of waders and were brilliant. Wore them with fleece pants under for warmth and wading socks to protect the sock booties and in neoprene gum boots. Was sleeting and blowing a gale and was very glad I had these pants on as they kept me warm and bone dry. They feel like they're made to last; the Velcro waist works great for support, the only thing I'd want would be a pocket. Look forward to using them kayak fishing also.


  5. Good quality Material. 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 3rd May 2018

    As stated in the heading the material is good quality and I feel they will be fairly durable. The fit is comfortable and I look forward to using them when the winter bites.


  6. Durable, comfortable, waterproof! 5 Star Review

  7. Kokotata Tempest & Pa 14 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 4th Jun 2016

    Would have to be the go to kayak accessory for any one using a Hobie in cold or hot conditions on any waterway. Coupled with quality thermals you cant beat them, the design and construction are first rate. I have no worries about the cold weather now, so I intend to use them in winter and summer


  8. paddle in winter with warm dry feet 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Sep 2015

    After reading many reviews I was convinced to get dry pants with socks. No regrets there. I wear wool as an underlayer, including wool socks and I can walk through water at launch and still have warm dry feet for the whole paddle. If you are buying online take notice of the sizing and have someone measure you. I bought a large as that is my usual size but had to return it for a medium. The garment had not been used and was exchanged without question.
