Silly question: I was of the understanding that wetsuits should be worn next
to the skin with no intervening layers, and that additional cold weather
clothing should be worn over it.  Some one suggested to me that polypro long
underwear could be worn under the wetsuit, and was better than wearing it
over a wetsuit.

Which is better?

Thanks for tolerating this silliness.

BTW, just finished Gronseth and Broze's "Deep Trouble".  I think I will
pretty much not kayak in the Puget Sound area during the winter... It seems
to, well, suck.  It seems like there are a lot of dangerous experiences
there.  Is this something more widespread, or is it related to the high
numbers of kayakers up there?
