What's this?

Who the heck wants to kayak in water where you need to wear a dry suit?


I would switch to hiking, backpacking or cycling for outdoor activities! I had to wear a dry suit when I was flying, and it wasn't fun. At least they fixed the neck and sleeve cuffs while I was in. They used to have these hard rubber seals which were extremely uncomfortable, but eventually they were replaced by far more comfortable synthetic rubber seals. That was a night and day difference in comfort, but it still sucked having to wear a dry suit...but wearing one was far better than not having one if you went into the water. I wore one when we were working in the fjords of Norway, and outside above the artic circle.
