HydroSkinz are fine to wear under the drysuit but I can think of no combination that had HydroSkinz as the primary protection that will offer any real protection for immersion in 50° water. My advise would be to buy an inexpensive drysuit and sell it once you no longer need it. Or try to borrow one from someone. Good luck, have a great trip.
