DriDucks pants for pack rafting?

[Simon Kenton]

 

Slowly assembling a pack rafting kit:

Is there any reason why DriDucks pants would be unsuitable as a pack rafting lower shell?

They are baggie and I have no problem pulling them above my navel while keeping enough length to tuck the cuffs into neoprene socks.

If you like them, use them.

The dri ducks pants are not very durable. I think that shifting around and butt sliding along the packraft fabric will put a lot of stress on the pants and could eventually rip them. Also packrafting often involves bushwacking to portage. One sharp stick crossing a fallen tree and they are done for.
