I browsed a couple of other digests. Most paddlers report no problems swimming in bloated mukluks. So not sure if there is a final consensus on this. Maybe Gordin could do an investigative expose'. :-) I like mine, warm. Rugged. Only stinks when you use them. And dry - until a 16" depth or so for wading into the water as I tenderly avoid rocks scratching my delicate hulls...heh heh. Maybe I just like spending money. Maybe it's really cheap compared to some folks spending countless hours varnishing their big sailboats with $70.00 a-pint varnish. Who knows? I do know bad gear sucks big time. But then I like good gear, and good safety gear. See it stringing behind me after a fictitious collision drawing Scott would be proud of... http://www.westcoastpaddler.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=30013#30013 (near the bottom).
