Mark:
I wear hyroskin too, under a dry top and fortified with fleece layers, Chotta
boots, and a fuzzy rubber helmet with chin strap.  This has handled Lake
Superior paddling for me but I am hoping strongly never to come out of the
boat.  If I dress more properly for immersion with 3 mm wet suit bottom and dry
top and get hot, nothing beats regular rolling to cool off.
