Re: [Paddlewise] rubber boots/chotas

    To echo what others have said, I've been swimming with my mukluks to see
how they would do. I have the old ones and love them. They have kept my feet
dry and warm for several years now. I don't have to wear the neoprine socks, I
use fuzzy socks in case I have walk somewhere or have to stand for any length
of time. I found that the lining got a bit wet and took some time to dry out
when I sawm for about 15 minutes of rescue practice. I think they may do
better with my wet suit than with my dry suit but either way they hold more
heat and even the water warms up to help. 


    I was so glad to get rid of the short Chota in cold water. I think my
mukluks are one of the best buys I ever made.

boots and rubber boots in COLD ocean water. has anyone found a clear


advantage/disadvantage w/ one v. other?>>
