a search for fuzzy rubber turned up www.SheGear.com

in addition to a catalog, they have true adventure stories and links to other sites.

>From their catalog: "Fuzzy Rubber is ideal for all watersports. The material is waterproof and windproof, so it's more comfortable and more functional than neoprene. 

Fuzzy Rubber is made of a Polartec Thermal Stretch and a rubberized waterproof coating outside. The fabric has the warmth equivalent to 2.5mm neoprene. It's warmer in windy conditions because the rubber layer totally blocks the wind, and it dries faster than neoprene."

can anybody offer any comments/advice?

Wes Boyd suggested that fuzzy rubber (sounds kinda kinky to me :) could also be used as an all-around keep warm garment to warrant schlepping it on what is basically a non-paddling trip.
