How would these work sitting in a whitewater kayak with an occasional swim. How might they compare to the Kokatat Capri pants for ladies made of a light micro fiber? I wore those out way too quickly. If not these, can you recommend something else? Thank you. Arleen Raymond

Arleen~ These are made of really lightweight and stretchy softshell material (not microfiber) that has a good DWR (durable water repellent finish) and will dry fast. They are designed with climbing in mind, are very durable and would probably work well for your particular application. One thing however... they have a medium rise which may be a little low for kayaking? Not sure... you'll have to experiment! Hope this helps.
