Thanks to those who provided this new kayaker with information regarding 
clothing for cold water kayaking.  My shorts and tee shirt have been 
retired for the season and I am trying alternatives from my limited 
wardrobe before making new purchases.

Most respondents indicated neoprene wetsuits were the way to go.  There are 
lots on the market and seem easy to find.

However there are some other products around.  The ones I am interested in 
some feedback on are Goretex type jackets with neoprene cuffs.  These are 
designed to attach to the sprayskirt and form a complete seal.

Has anyone tried these ?
Will they substitute for a wetsuit ?
Do they keep you dry during a wet exit ?
