Comments about NRS Rodeo Pants:
Though a little snug getting the waist around the buttocks, the fit is perfect once they're on, and getting them off is a breeze. For SUP, the high back is a little awkward, but not enough to warrant a lower rating. For cold & windy days, and odds are better than 50% that you're going in, these are great choice coupled with the HydroSkin vest.

Comments about NRS Rodeo Pants:
I have used them once so far but they seem to be relatively comfortable as far as neoprene pants go. If they had the felt lined pants like NRS does with their farmer jon suits that would be a plus. For me having a 35 inch inseam I found them to be a little short but I do have long legs and this isn't unusual for me unless I can find a tall version the product. I did find that they rubbed and there was a little irritation around the knee but it was minor and may have just been pulling the hair on my legs funny. Over all I would recomend them for the price as they seem to be made well and had nice knee pads and zippers on the legs (for easy on/off).

Comments about NRS Rodeo Pants:
Good fit around the waist. The product is high enough at the waist as well. Nice length and the zippers at the feet are great. The material seems of a high quality too.
Service and delivery comments:
Unfortunately, NRS sent me a medium instead of a large. I will say though, that their return policy was very good. I talked to someone I could under stand and I had the new product in two days so I could kayak that weekend. They sent before I sent the old one back.

Comments about NRS Rodeo Pants:
I've used these for SUP (flat water and surfing), waveski and sea kayaking in Puget Sound and light surfing on the Washington coast. The pants are surprisingly warm and have been a great backup on non full wetsuit sessions. The knees are padded better than my full suit and are great on rocks, etc. They dry quickly and pack small for trips.

Great Neoprene Pants for Kayaking. Especially White Water. Great for those cold rivers. The padded knees and a big plus for bracing in your kayak. Very comfortable and maintains body heat. Highly Recommended.

Q:
Are the ankle zippers made of plastic or metal? My concern: Metal zippers corrode and jam especially when used in salt water.Asked on 11/24/2012 by Mackin from Harpswell, Maine6 answers

A:
The zippers are made of plastic. The only metal is the slider.Answered on 11/24/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Mackin,
The zippers are either plastic or nylon...definitely not metal. I'm on
Lake Michigan, so fresh water instead of salt, but plenty of sand. I've
had no problem with the zippers. DanAnswered on 11/24/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
The zippers are a heavy duty plastic, have never jammed or corroded on me, and yes, I paddle in the ocean as well.Answered on 11/24/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
The tracks are heavy duty plastic.
Never had an issue with them and salt water.
Always rinse them after use in salt water of course.

Hmmm. I checked and can't tell fur shur. The teeth seem like plastic and the pull piece seems like metal. I am pleased with the suit but I use it in fresh water. The zipper mechanisms do not seem particularly well made.Answered on 11/25/2012 by Anonymous

Q:
Can someone help me with sizing of the rode pant?
Body dimensions:
Height 6'1
Weight 140lbs
Waist: 30in
Do you suggest wearing another layer underneath? I'll be floating 50 miles over a three day period during winter months.
Any suggestions on apparel combos?
ThanksAsked on 10/22/2012 by Aron from West Plains, MO4 answers

I'm 5'9", 135 lbs.
I'd wear a dry suit, not neoprene for 3 days of Winter floating.Answered on 10/22/2012 by AnonymousA:
You want any wetsuit garment to fit snugly, to minimize the amount of water that can enter in a swim. The Medium would probably work best for you. You'll also want upper body thermal protection, perhaps a wetsuit jacket. Remember, always dress for the water temperature.Answered on 10/23/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Aron,
I'm about 137 lbs., 30" waist, but 5'7". I have the "small" size of
these pants, and they fit well, and would be ok if I were a few inches
taller. I think they'd be short on you.
As far as insulating power, I don't know what conditions you'll be in,
e.g. water and air temps, how wet you'll be, etc. For me, another
skinny, un-insulated person, they wouldn't be enough for winter use here
in Michigan. They basically extend the season for me. I'm kayaking also,
and tend not to be immersed much--they are emergency protection.
Good luck, DanAnswered on 10/24/2012 by Anonymous

Q:
are these pants 'waterproof' if you are walking in the water?Asked on 9/26/2012 by seadoo7 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
No. *Great* pants and warm, but not waterproof.Answered on 9/26/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
No. They are like a wet suit. They help keep you warmer, not dry.
If you want dry, try dry pants or a drysuit.Answered on 9/27/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
No they are not waterproof. They are wet suit pants. I am a hobie cat sailor and these pants are standard gear for most of us. The high back and knee protection is useful.Answered on 9/27/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
no they are like a wetsuitAnswered on 9/27/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
NRS Rodeo pants are made of wetsuit neoprene. Like the name implies, wetsuit fabric works by allowing a thin layer of water to enter, which is heated by the body. The warm water layer and the thick insulating neoprene work together to keep the user nice and warm. NRS Rodeo pants also provide abrasion protection, keeping the user safe from sharp rocks and coral. While exploring shore areas, they will protect the wearer from thorns and poison oak / ivy. The pants will also provide protection from stings by jellyfish or fire coral..
NRS rodeo pants are constructed with a quality 2mm+ neoprene. The reinforced knees offer extra padding that comes in handy when making equipment repairs, or taking breaks on rocky shores.
For temperature limits and exposure guidelines, the pants offer thermal protection similar to (the lower half of) a 3/2 mm wetsuit.
-MaryAnswered on 9/30/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
No, they are not. That is not how wetpants work. The thin layer of water between your skin and the neoprene is how they keep you warm in cold water. If you don't want water on your skin, you need to look at a drysuit.
