Quick question

Postby bluesnowcone » Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:41 pm

can i still get away with wearing my salamon summer suit? i was in the water about 2 weeks ago wearing it and i didn't get cold and it says that the water temp hasn't changed much since then.

I'm in north-west Ireland and still wearing 3/2, and plan on it for another month. Wearing booties with it, but no gloves or hood yet. Wear it till you feel cold.

Definitely dropping now, but still do-able in a 3mm.

Usually by this time I am in a full/short sleeve 3/2. Water is still 75 here.

Get those boots and gloves and and maybe a hood and take it as long as you can. You should be ok as long as the water is not below 50 and the air temp is in the 50's. Save up for a winter wettie. Hmmm Christmas is coming :)
