Rich,

The debate is dry vs wet suit.  I personally have both, but I own a
paddleshop/ kayak school. ;-)

Kokatat Swift drysuit $320
Thrift store fleece set  $10
booties, gloves, hat?

 or

Farmer John wetsuit  about $130
latex gasketed paddle jac about $150
thrift store fleece top  $5
booties, gloves, hat?

I find GREAT fleece and an occasional wetsuit at the neighborhood thrift
stores.  Latest find was a PatagoniaŽ lightweight synchilla snap-t XL like
new $3.00.
