What they all said plus, don't buy a cheap paddle jacket either. You want one that is very breathable like GoreTex or similar with cuffs neck and waist that form a good seal. It is aggravating as hell to reach into your bait tank and have the water run up your sleeve and soak your clothing layers. And in warmer weather, a jacket that does not breathe well will keep you as wet as nothing at all.
