I was expecting the neoprene to be a lot worse than it actually 
turned out to be.  Ask me that same question in July...   I have a 
week long trip planned for summer, and the neoprene skirt will be 
the only one I bring.   Though... given that it makes my roll much 
more risk-free, I may simply choose to roll periodically to cool 
down.

The nylon is cooler, but that may be mostly due to the fact that it 
kept me wet all the time.
