Steve, et al - Thank you for your rapid reply. Any suggestions on a particular dry suit and wet suit. Anything in particular to look for and look out for to avoid. My last dry suit had laytex gaskits which had to be replace periodically. Eventually the suit wore out about the same time i stopped rafting rivers in winter, some years ago now. Seeking recommendations from those with more recent experience than i have. Thanks again for your reply and look forward to any additional input.

Our coldest temps are usually around 53-55 deg F in the winter and we sometimes get up to the low 60's in the summer. For our temps, a wetsuit works well, but I'd be reluctant to paddle in the winter in Northern CA in just a wetsuit. You should probably be thinking a dry suit for the winter and a wetsuit of some type for the summer.
