Does anyone out there have experience with Patagonia's paddling/sailing
gear?  I'm interested specifically in the One-Design Pullover and Pants.
Like some of their other paddling gear it has "Stretch-coat" and "Velcro"
seals at the neck and extremities (neoprene joints at the waist).  Has
anyone had the opportunity to test how well these seals work?  I'm sure that
they're not as good as the latex gaskets in "real" dry suits but I'm
wondering if they're adequate for late-fall and early-spring paddling?  The
rest of the material is taped Gore-Tex so I'm sure that is adequately
water-proof.

This stuff can be had much cheaper than a full-on dry suit and I'm thinking
of picking up a set to use (just spring and fall).

I'd appreciate any feedback.

thanks!
