> What's a thriftily challenged fashion conscious > roller to do? Roll really fast!? That's tough, Paul, because the thrifty and the warm and comfortable parts don't usually come together. For what it's worth, here's my input: There's a custom wetsuit maker that I like who will do everything with you via phone and internet. She's based in Texas. She will take a million minute measurements, and make a suit designed to paddle in. Wetsuits are cheaper than drysuits. The company is called Terrapin Wetsuits www.terrapinwetsuits.com. Ebay! I've purchased two drysuits via ebay, and they're great. I got a GFER w/ socks and relief zipper for $320, and a GMER with all the bells and then some for $550. Reed Chillcheater wear. Not cheap, but not the worst either. Warm, presuming you're not swimming about for too long, and much more comfortable than either a wet or a drysuit. -Georgianna *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
