I've got an MEC paddling jacket that has the neoprene neck and wrist closures previously described. I've used it in whitewater for years, and in the surf in my sea kayak, and it only allows in a token amount of water. I don't get much wetter than I would sweating in a waterproof jacket. I've taken long swims in it, and only had to empty maybe a few ounces of water out of each arm afterward, and I've got skinny wrists. I wear pile and/or a farmer john wetsuit underneath. Very versatile and way cheaper than a drysuit. -- Rob Gendreau Oakland, California gendreau_at_ccnet.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Apr 01 1999 - 20:02:25 PST
