Will water soak through the pants if you are sitting in some water (from rain for 5-6 hrs)? Fishing in an open boat in Alaska for a week.

I sat outside on a plastic coated chair for a few hours and did not have any soak through. I was up several times in that time and sat down on water that had collected in the chair.

I got it to wear kayaking in colder Southern California weather. I don't think that it is meant to wear IN water.

Yes, you do get wet, both from water through those holes and water coming up over the sides. I weigh 140 lbs and have a great time paddling the kids kayak, but my shorts always get soaked. We pretty much only use the kayak when is warm enough to swim, and in those conditions I have always found getting slightly wet very refreshing. Generally you also always need to be prepared for the fact that if kids are paddling they may fall or tip over anyway. I wouldn't plan cold water kayaking with this little boat, but I truly love it for warm weather.

We don't get much rain, but when we do it is not much different than a pair of jeans. It gets wet. You might be able to spray it with some of the rain gard stuff.

Yes but I'm not sure if eventually the material would get wet by soaking through. The inside is lined so it should be ok.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

No, the water that DampRid absorbs is from the air ;) just place the boots close to a space heater to get dry faster ;)

No, not in the rain but I don't know about swimming. Be sure make sure it is soaked into your skin me feels relatively dry.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

Yes, it can get wet but it won't be effective again until it is dry. If bathing or swimming, I would definitely remove it, though.

These go inside of a pair of boots - I use Hodgeman felt bottom boots for traction. I use them for fishing in rivers on the Oregon coast in Fall and Winter and the water can be quite cold. They seem to be waterproof to me although we use them more for wading in and out of the water not standing thigh deep for hours at a time so I don't know about extended time under water.

Yes, the front vestibule will get wet during rain. When it started to rain while we were at camp I clamped two tarps on the front to protect the stuff I had in that area. It worked just fine since I liked having a "porch".

If the water is shallow enough to touch the bottom while paddling, you will probably lose your skeg. You can't navigate well without the skeg, so be very cautious in shallows and in water in which there are downed trees.

No worries. I took mine on a canoe trip and had no problems with the water. It's a great little charger for the price. I even forgot about it outside the tent on night - rained - and still working today! Good buy!

It's not going to work in the water, of course. Since I have carried in rainy day for few times, I haven't experienced any leaking so far. However, you may ask others, too. They could have different opinions. At least it has worked for me.
