Wetsuit for the winter? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Eastport paddle pants and top with warm clothes under. I have found with the neoprene and velcro straps tightened at my ankles the water keeps out of my legs, add a pair off bootie and I'm off.

I wore 3mm wetsuit bottoms for the past few winters and regret it. I just bought some breathable Hodgemans at Sports Authority for $75. The wetsuit bottoms always kept me warm but they were so damn uncomfortable after a couple hours. No more itchy wet legs for me. Being dry makes a world of difference and now I'm warm and comfy all day. I don't recommend itchy wet legs and especially not a full suit.
