Scott, This is exactly the suit I have used for 2 years for my "coldest" paddling. I actually think the full 3/2 Body Glove is the most comfortable wet suit I've tried (I have 3). I like having my arms covered and insulated and have not ever experienced any chafing/rash with up to 15 miles of straight paddling(I wear tights under it). The nylon content in the BG makes it extremely flexible. Just be sure it fits right (no gaps/bagging). All that aside, I think my glove will be a little lonely this year. This Sunday, in blustery winds and intermittent downpours, I paddled in my new gore-tex dry suit in complete bliss (latex booties = dry feet, too). I doubt I'll look back. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
