Just as a follow up to my wetsuit rant, has anyone tried the thermal rashies like the Ripcurp "Hotskins"

It doesnt get real cold here and was thinking of trying them out instead of wearing a short spring suit through our winter.

Are they anygood, to restrictive , etc etc etc?
Thanks in advance

Yes, they work,
Yes, they can be a bit restrictive.

As long as your wetsuit isnt too tight, and you get a thermal rashie thats a bit looser than your normal one, then they're well worth having :D

The ones with the fleecey stuff in them are pretty good.

I was actually thinking of wearing one instead of a spring suit.

Just thermal rashie for the wind chill and a pair of boardies, water temp here doesnt much get below 20 degrees C or 70 Degrees F.
