You're in a tough spot.

The Vantage seats are a life saver for me. When I started, in a Wilderness Systems kayak that was my main dislike...Having a wet seat.

I dont think theres a good solution for SoCal for me since I go out many miles each trip. The effort to pedal each way is like a workout and the mild weather gets hot quick.. I bought a a very cheap military dry suit that is made of gore tex which is supposed to be breathable. To be honest I never even wore it cause it still looks like you can get hot.

I've been out in calm winter/fall days and sometimes I need to wet my shirt or pants to cool off. A dry suit will not keep me cooler than breathable pants and shirt. Much less a neoprene pants.

Theres people that wear the nice "goretex" stuff but I get hot fast. Maybe buy one from a place that has a good return policy to try out?
