I don't own any Fuzzy-Rubber but I think it's great and everyone should have some. I'm a bit alarmed at the thought of using it for water below 50 degrees. I don't know where you paddle, only that your email address is for UNH. I live in NH and the water in this part of NE is far too cold for Fuzzy-Rubber only during the months of Dec - March. For me and many others this is dry-suit season (I personally wear my dry-suit from Nov through April). Fuzzy-Rubber is adequate for immersion during our summers but definitely not our winters. Heck, some wear Fuzzy-Rubber to our pool sessions and these are heated pools. Have you tried taking your Fuzzy-Rubber for a swim in December after you've broken the ice? If so, my hat's off to you! You must have an incredible metabolism to maintain core temp while soaking in 35 degree water.
