I was out this week and it was 40 degrees at the launch at 5 am. In this setup you can take a full on barrel on the head and still be dry as a bone (except your head, maybe stash your beanie for the launch).
if anyone responds saying that you will drown in waders....
I was thinking about doing a youtube video to cover this, the topic seems to come up all the time.
