I hate to reopen the discussion of wet suit-dry suit but...

When expedition touring over long distances in cold waters and cool air
temperatures where any capsize can potentially mean hypothermia, what's the
best, most versatile,  and most comfortable protection?  

Brian

	And if you start looking at them, and decide that Gortex isn't worth the
extra, $100 or so, I've got a NON-Gortex suit I'll gladly sell you...  "Get
the Gore..."  I shoulda, coulda, woulda.... darn...  :-/

Not having knowledge in dry suits, I am considering purchasing one.  Are there
any dry suits one can purchase that would be suitable for kayaking and scuba
diving?  A dual purpose use might allow me to slip this one by my accountant.
