Re: [Paddlewise] Dry Suit Questions?

I've got the Stolquist goretex drysuit with latex booties.  I found my socks 
got a little damp but with the fleece socks and neoprene booties were warm 
and never a problem.  Nice also that you don't have to fiddle with taking 
off the latex around your ankles.  Love the gortex suit as it kept me warm 
even while setting up camp.  If I was wearing a wetsuit, I'd be chilled in 
minutes.  I'll probably try and extend wearing the suit as much as possible 
since it's oh, so comfortable -- no neoprene itch either :o)

The Kokatat goretex drysuit with relief zip and cordura reinforcement I got
this past winter is absolutely super.  I still get soaked after paddling for
a few hours but there isn't buckets of water in my pant legs like with my
old coated suit.  The extra safety is well worth it since I have a family
now but am not about to stop paddling year-round.  My only complaint is the
collar sometimes chafes my neck.   I want to have booties put on my suit
this summer.  I've wondered if I would have a problem with water collecting
around my feet, making them uncomfortable.  Any experience out there?
