Cold weather gear

[Lipripper92592]

If you needs some waterproof winter gear, shoot me a pm.
I have a set of Bomber Gear Kayak Pants Jacket, that when worm in conjunction, it's about close to a dry suit you can get. $150 for the set.
Only used a few times.

The majority of heat loss in the lower body is through the feet. The splash pants are an easy but cold option for a real winter day. Sure you can go out there in boardshorts, but you wont be comfortable on any but the warmest winter days. Full stocking foot breathable waders, and impermeable shell jacket over. warm layers as needed underneath. You can be fully submerged and totally dry underneath.

I agree with Chris, it's all about the feet for me. I tried splash pants with a few different neoprene shoes and always ended up with cold wet feet. Breathable stockingfoot waders worked well. Add thermals and wool socks as needed and I stayed warm and dry.

Surfing booties have worked well for me to keep my feet warm.

Up in norcal, the ocean temperature is around 53 in the summer. A lot of us wear kokatat hydrus 3l supernova angler paddling suits. What you wear underneath depends on your cold tolerance. The best part is it has a relief zipper, so taking a piss is super easy. And if you happen to piss on your legs by accident, just splash some water on it.

I use treaded dive booties and splash pants. Yes, my feet get wet but they don't get cold. I have a set of hodgeman neoprene waders from when I would float tube but only use those in the Sierras when I am chipping ice off the yak before launching

I've tried the thick dive booties and 8-10 hours of wet feet is no good. I think the booties restrict blood circulation a bit as well which may contribute to me getting cold feet. I'm better off with just Crocs since at least they dry.
