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.
