I'll go, what ever you got.

As far as Tops and Bottoms, or a suit, I when with the top and bottom combo because they are more useful seperate. I don't plan to cross the North Sea any time soon, but when I do something that extreme, I'll get the suit.

Never gone in the drink in my dry ammenities, but I have weathered rain and snow storms (one good one with Kramer) in 20-30 degree weather. I was toasty warm the whole time.

In fact, with Kramer, during a heavy downpour last spring, we sat under the flood gates of a dam in our yaks as watered poured over and down 30' pounding us in our kayak.

Papa has entered the drink many times with a dry top on, so maybe he can fill ya in.

Let me know, and I'll take ya down the Rouge River when you come. I got a Jeep that we can stack 6 yaks on.

Lookin forward to it.

PS I got my Captiva from Bill and Pauls, they are a little more pricy, (7-10% ???) but pretty good guys.
