I guess I should have included more information during my first post. I paddle mostly calm in-land rivers, nothing too big, no rough water (in the winter especially). I always wear my PDF. I usually paddle within a 100 feet of shore or less. Right now I have a NRS HydroSkin Little John wet suit, NRS HydroSkin Gloves, and a pair of Teva water shoes for paddling. I was thinking of picking up an NRS HydroSkin Mysterytop (long sleeves) and some HydroSkin socks. Under the Little John and Socks I'll wear my thermax long underwear (synthetic material that retains your body heat--I've warn it while motorcycleing. I was also thinking of maybe adding a windblocker fleese jacket or my Gortex rain jacket over my PDF for additional wind protection. You can't roll a pungo so I have no intention of getting a full spray skirt but a half skirt might be a good idea just to keep the paddle drips off of my legs. Do you think this will be enough gear to keep me warm and safe in 50 degree weather? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
