I have been looking for some cold water gear for some time and have been reluctant to get neoprene 'cause of the sweating, I have a pair of 3 mm chest waders I use for fishing and would never want to kayak in anything like it, and the gortex drysuit is a lot of $ for a modest increase in comfort, you still sweat in gortex! The Darlexx fabric seems to be what I want. BUT, I just did a goggle search on Darlexx and can't find anyone producing kayak gear, does anyone on paddlewise know of a current mfg.? The closest I came was a British made dry top with darlexx cuffs and neck gasket in place of neoprene.
