I'm losing you here? Sandy purchased a 2mm/1mm (Not a farmer John...1mm AND 2mm) wet suit to paddle California?! I stated that the last time I got wet in Cal, was in a 7MM wet suit, albeit diving, and found the water temperature brutal. Before I moved to Florida, I could dive 76-77F without a wet suit..now I need a 3mm suit for the low 80s! As you pointed out, acclimation is critical and the water Sandy and I have been exposed to the past few weeks is 79-80F. If you point is that she should have a dry top...no argument there. I have no paddled in California waters but used to wave ski in South Africa which was similar to Monterrey conditions. A quarter inch suit in mid summer was necessary. Please clarify you last post. cya > individual responses also vary greatly. What is the context for your > panning a 3mm farmer john with a drytop and a fleece top.
