Perhaps ideal protection and a cost compromise recomendation.

Or, continue with the farmer john/drytop mode until you can afford the one you want. Rotary cooling can take the mug out of excessive heating. I've boated plenty with fuzzy rubber pants and a drytop, however, there is no substitute for a drysuit when you are in 46-56 degree water.
