I just moved from the south to Northern CA. Burr... that 52 degree water is cold. My polypro and Farmer John wetsuit aren't keeping me warm enough -- at least not warm enough to practice rolls and self rescues. It's pretty cold in the surf too. Except for bays and lagoons, the paddling here is in ocean swell and surf. So I need a dry suit, or maybe a dry top / dry bottom combination like the ones Kokotat makes? Has anybody out there tried the dry top / dry bottom combo? Though it wouldn't be as reliably dry as the dry suit, seems like it would offer more versatility in choosing the best clothes for day. But, I'd like to hear from someone who has tried it before I commit such a big chunk of money either way.
