I made myself a pair of shorts using Polartec Thermal Fleece (lycra on the
outside, fleece on the inside) that I find good in damp conditions.  They
provide a bit of space between your butt and the seat where water (in
very small quantities) can remain out of direct contact with your skin.
So if it's only persperation you're dealing with, they're nice.

I think you can buy this type now (couldn't when I made mine) and you
definitely can get the rubbery version of these today in good paddling
shops (especially those that cater to the WW crowd).
