waders vs wetsuits

[Pete_G]

Evaporational cooling when you're wearing a wetsuit is a big factor. While they're warm a chill can eventually catch up with you.

On a night like last night where the humidity is really low you'd be very aware of it.

Check out the new Aquaskinz Phantom and layer up with some fleece as previously suggested.

I usually only go to my wetsuit if I can't reach a spot in my waders or for safety reasons.

Sorrry, I should have re-worded that post. I don't wear fleece under my wetsuit. If I need more warmth in a wetsuit I go to a higher mm or a better suit. Throwing a drytop over a wetsuit does help a lot though and I do that on dry, cool nights or later in the season when it's cold.

For the fleece I was talking about waders.
