Wet Suit 13 years 3 months ago #32116

I would like to know what would be best for me to purchase, a long sleeve one or a short one. Would a 3mm one be fine for kayaking in May in the Ottawa region? Thank you! Claude

Hi Claude,

I'm not sure about your location, but I'm sure someone will answer soon :yes:

But I was just wondering if you haven't thought of getting a dry top? Perhaps wear a 'farmer john' wetsuit for the lower body and chest (sleeveless) and a dry top, as it's a lot more comfortable. Or just some wetsuit pants with the dry top. Or a dry top and pants, or even a dry suit - budget depending.

Wetsuits are not that comfortable, and irritating when you need to take a leak :evil:

Cheers,
Adrian
