Shawn,

Which GTX drysuit do you use?

I have searched the forum and find mention of Ravenspring Dry suits on the other side of the pond, and Kokatat dry suits in the US (for kayaking). The Meridian seems to be the non breathable one to get. And the Gortex 2nd from the top of the line for Gore Tex.

Again, what do you have, and what other brands should I look at?

The farmer john wet suit felt pretty cold the other day in the pool when I was getting out the last of the leaves before covering it. (Felt good until I put my shoulders under water.) Water temp: 63 F! I must be a pansey.

Other's recommendations are also welcomed.

Rick
