...I'd have to agree that a drysuit ultimately keeps you warmer. But, if you're paddling hard, then I've found that perspiration begins to soak your layers, and you can get fairly chilly. I've not found a drysuit that really delivers on vapor exchange, and I'm not sure how it really could, when your skirt and vest constrict internal airflow... At the end of the day, I just expect to be cold when air and water temps are cold... Thoughts?
