Splash pants sizing

How is the sizing for the Kokatat dry suits and dry pants? Do they run big or small? Im a 38 waist and seem to be in between sizes. Not sure if L or XL is gonna be my size. Im guessing I will go down to the local REI and see if they have some to try on.

I'll let you know tomorrow 

I wear size 36 in Carhartts, and ordered the L kokatat pants.

Following im in the market aswell

I'm 6' 190lbs and the XL size Kokatat Tempest pants are a little baggy...which doesn't matter when I'm sitting on my kayak...but when I walk around, it sounds like a corduroy pants parade from the chaffing haha

VK, you sound extremely masculine and fit---just like me 5-9 205...good info guys

I just got my Large tempest pants, and they fit (not baggy) over my wetsuit.  I'm 5'11", 220ish lb, and wear a size 36 waist (in Levi's and Carhartt).

I stink my splash pants are L but forget exact size now.  I do recall I wanted them a little big.

I am 5'10 and 185 lbs.  I wear a Medium Tempest Pants and Large Angler Drysuit.  Great fit for me and plenty of room for layering.   

went to local REI yesterday and the local sporting goods shop that has kayak stuff...neither had any in stock, only had the ones without booties... the quest continues

I'm 6'0" and 210 lbs and wear an XL.  I wouldn't trade them for the world!

If you are in between sizes for outerwear, go for the bigger one.

I went through the same thing before buying my Angler suit, and I'm definitely glad I opted for the XL. It's baggy, but I have zero restriction to my range of motion.

yeah, that's probly where Im at unless I can find some to try on. Im going to Pismo area this weekend, any places there that may stock these? I'll check on Cencoastkf too.

Check out Central Coast Kayaks in shell beach. It's a small shop, but they might have something you could try on. CCK in Oakland probably has what you're looking for.

Get the Large size Mike.

Get the Large size Mike.

After 5 days straight of paddling at GS, I can confidently say that I am very happy with my Large tempest pants.  They fit easily over the wet suit with room in the waist, and were not too baggy. RacinRob and I tried to surf the new Wildy thresher.  I bailed a few times, and there was minimal water in the pants (baggy pants have the potential to take on more water and make it heavier when you are re-boarding).
