Hi Et,

Yep totally agree, specially since I'm from the northern climes too. People, even very experienced kayakers, often are found paddling with unsuitable clothing for the temps, trusting skill and luck?

It's why I broke down a few years ago and bought a drysuit, it's either that or quit using the boats earlier than I want to each year.
