Dress for the water temperature, not for the air temperature. I've always thought this advice to be a bit of a paradox. This time of year, the water is very cold yet the air temperatures are comparatively warmer. If you dress for the water temp you are overdressed for the air temp. If you overdress inside your drysuit, your body will sweat. Your clothing will get soaked with sweat. Your wet garments will cause you to chill. You start out dressed for cold water, but end up prepared for neither.
