Question about clothing on the water

Specifically pants. . .

I've been wearing ripstop cargo pants for the longest... I always take one or two over the bow when launching, soak them through, and they dry pretty quick... They get the job done in an elevated seat on my outback. . .

In my scupper, I'm basically sitting in water all day. First day out I just wore some board shorts and it was fine.... But I cook super easy and I'd always rather to have fabric than have to remember to reapply sunscreen every couple of hours. (chances are I just won't)

I noticed NRS and Level 6 make .5mil neoprene leggings specifically meant for paddling, and there are a ton of options for more rashguard type lycra leggings to be worn under some shorts.

I see a lot of people wearing dry pants, but I'm not interested in going that route unless there's a pair that are remarkably cool and breathable.

Warmth isn't really a big deal so much as durability. If anything I'm afraid I'd overheat in neoprene. Curious if anyone has gone this route and has a suggestion.
