Do you know of any instances where a skilled paddler has suffered
hyperthermia from wearing a wetsuit or drysuit?  Since hypothermia has 
been called the number one killer of sea kayakers, I am curious to know 
if anyone has actually suffered real heat stroke (hyperthermia) from 
wearing a wetsuit or drysuit (not anectdotal, but documented).  This
is a common excuse given for not wearing a wetsuit or drysuit but I
have never heard of any actual accounts.

Thanks,

Jackie
