Anyone interested in a Tulik should take a look at the custom Goretex Tuliks from Paulo Ouellet who has starting a small company www.comfortpaddling.net His tuliks are both breathable and water proof. All the stitches are seam taped and the wrist gaskets are super heavy duty. I suspect they'll be far more robust then those found on typical dry suits. Best of all is the seal around your face. Cinch it down adjust the Velcro on the sides of the hood and you have a water proof seal that does not feel like your face has been shoved through a rubber hose. By loosing off the Velcro cinches the hood fits looser and provides some ventilation. Important if you're a hot head like me. I've been wearing the Tulik over my dry suit. This makes a great alternative to a heavy neoprene Tulik. It keeps you warm and dry as opposed to warm and wet. If you paddle in warmer climates then here in Victoria BC this might be an ideal piece of kit. Paulo also makes a custom fitted fleece sweater with a removable hood designed to be worn under the tulik hood on cold days. I have no affiliation with the company. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Bad news Craig. At today's exchange rate it would be $302.81 for you. Plus shipping!! I had never owner a Tulik and had only worn the neoprene version once. While the neoprene was good for rolling was less then ideal for paddling as it was not very comfortable, it was a universal fit (three sizes fit all). I found it heavy. And the neoprene left an unsightly ring around my face when I took it off. At the beach little children cried when they saw my ugly face with this red ring around it. I'm sure they're now in some Trauma therapy. Hahahahahaha! Serves the blighters right. I love that outdoor rink you've got over there on the lake. Is it frozen over yet. It reminds me of being a kid playing hockey on frozen ponds. God I'm old.

Since then the air temps have warmed to the point where it often above freezing during the day along with rain a few times and sunshine several times. We have noticed a few leads in the ice. Luckily, we have an ice rink. We would have gone skating tonight (every Wednesday) except that the flu and cold season arrived and many of the main actors bowed out. The ice does make rolling much easier.
