RE: [Paddlewise] Fuzzy rubber tops

I use a Rapidstyle (www.rapidstyle.com) Fuzzy Rubber vest with their Second Skin
(kind of a heavier rash guard fabric) or Winter Weight Second Skin Long Sleeve
Shirts.  Very comfortable.  I think this is a great compromise and prevents one
from getting too hot.  If I need more warmth (rarely here) I put a paddling
jacket on top of this. I also use the Fuzzy Rubber Pants for kayak surfing,
when I often get trashed and have to swim.
