Thanks to George for his cold water article and many great links. I tend to paddle year round unless the ice gets too thick to break through. In the winter I always wear a wet suit and used to wear a dry suit until mine got ripped. We have had a surprisingly warm Fall (for Canada) with it being a few degrees above freezing this week, and I have twice been lazy and just gone out for a short paddle (5-6 km along the shoreline) without the wetsuit (I did wear other stuff :-) ). Your article has smartened me up. Back to the wet suit and I am thinking seriously about getting a new dry suit. I guess I should have paid more attention to the dry suit model recommendations a while ago. Thanks again.
