>> With all this discussion about jackets and now dry suits, what dry suits
does anyone recommend since I think I'm in the market for one so I can
paddle places like Tomales Bay this winter without as much concern. >>


Kokatat makes very good drysuits in several versions.  For day paddles,
non-breathable suits are OK -- expect to have totally soaked insulation at
the end of an active day.  For multi-day trips, that gets old, so consider a
Gore-Tex suit.  The price is steep ( $700 - $800 or so) but worth it.  Get a
relief zip and Goretex booties (not latex at the ankles).  Used mine today.
