I'm going to Australia to kayak. Temps 60-80. Will these keep me dry and not be too hot? Would the Neoprene pants be better?

They won't keep you dry but I think they will be more comfortable than neoprene

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

Not at all... They are perfect for 50 - 60 degree or cooler weather. The pants run large, not tight fitting. These sound like the perfect pants for you! I wear them here in the Pacific Northwest, cooler days low to mid 30's and warmer days in the mid 50's. Very comfortable in a variety of temps ranging from very cool 30's up to 70's. Enjoy your new Asics Callie!

They probably wouldn't be too warm, but I would personally choose lighter pants if it was that warm (I live in Michigan - 50 degrees feels warm outside to me!). I wear these sweatpants outside to jog or walk when it's 30-40 degrees, but my body temp heats up by jogging. After you wash these a few times, they sort of lose a tiny bit of the fuzz inside, but I still love them. If it's 30 degrees or colder, I'll wear these + some running tights underneath. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question! If it's 50-60 degrees outside and I wear these pants, I'd probably wear a short sleeve shirt as long as it's sunny.

I bought these pants in the summer and they have done well on cool mornings until fall. I would not consider them winter pants. I have been camping with them and put them on in the morning and that was ok. It really depends a lot on your personal preferences.

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

Probably yes. Check what the neoprene mm is: 2 mm should be quite warm but not too thick or heavy or constricting. 1.5 is even thinner. I swim in Lake MI (colder than ocean) with 2 mm.

My son says they are perfect for hot and humid weather. He is in the middle east.

These are supposed to be water resistant. I went into a creek and I was sure the pants would be soaked, but it beaded right up and it was dry. I have never been in a downpour, but at some point I am sure these pants will become truly wet.

Shorts or pants are fine, they don't stick when taking them off. My waders are a size bigger to accommodate what I wear underneath. Very comfortable, not constricting at all.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

I'm an EMT in South Carolina. As far as these types of pants go, they are alright in the heat... they are much more lightweight than some. However, none of them breathe particularly well. I have to wear dark blue ones, maybe a lighter color pant would be cooler.

These are play kayaks, I would not plan to be dry. They are low to the water so water can splash into them and tends to drain out the holes. Our kids use them a lot when they are swimming and paddling to the float or around in front of the house.

No.These are for wading into the water and keeping the water out. Neoprene helps keep you warm.On a lobster boat, you should never wear anything that can fill up with water, as the danger of falling overboard is constantly there. Lobstermen wear layers that shed the water that splashes them. Bib pants, and jacket. With knee boots. If you are on a boat that has a lot of water washing across the deck, then you might wear thigh high boots.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!
