![Trockenanzug für unter 290 Euro! Ist der dicht? [Drysuit Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uDEf2KJS8xE/mqdefault.jpg)
Merino wool all day every day. Devold, Helly Hansen etc. Use it all year. If it´s very cold, I wear double on upper body. Dries faster than fleece AND does not stink, even after a week.
Right on !
I wear thin nylon bootie socks over my dry suit socks to protect my dry suit socks from wearing out from dirt, grit, and small rocks that can get inside my shoes
yes as do I.
Would you be able to share an example of nylon bootie socks you use?
@@LWint-zz4siI got Finis skin socks off Amazon
So most important… the changing robe, got it!
Good info can’t warrant the dry suit yet, maybe this summer I’ll pick one up cheap
for sure! LOL
New Level 6 drysuits are great for the money. Although they sponsor me, I would never recommend something that doesn't work. They arent the best but ive used mine all winter with zero issues. I would agree IR is probably my favorite!
For sure! I forgot to mention Level 6. They are good stuff.
very good advice... my answer to cold weather is not to kayak.. one more set of surgeries and hopefully easy rivers by late spring
keep your eyes on the prize jam! That first paddle dip is gonna feel so good!
I ordered the pogies right away. Much better than mine; they are a struggle to get into. Thanks for the tip!
You are gonna love em!
Exact same items I use! Hoping to save up and get myself a nicer drysuit at some point but still have two alibabas to go😂
Right on brother!
Missed the live premiere :( I wish more companies would make large sizes for us really big boys! I already have to deal with a super short paddling season. I would love to be able to paddle in May and June too!
I hear ya LVD!
Maybe I missed it, but when paddling in cold water I always wear some kind of ear plugs.
I wanna minimize the risk of surfers ear.
That's a great idea! However, I didn't include as I was keeping it to what I wear to stay warm...I felt earplugs was a different topic altogether. Thanks!
Military surplus grid fleece works well and is inexpensive. It’s my go to for under my drysuit.
The waffles are great, but I try not to have any zippers or other metal things anywhere near the gaskets on my drysuit.
Great video, and thanks for the info! Before i invest in a dry suit, my question is how cold of water can I take my wetsuit in? I'm not a whitewater kayaker so i just usually anticipate falling in the water. Thanks for the help!
air temps, wind, sun, water temps...there are a lot of factors. The wetsuit will def keep you going and is a viable insulator...It just isn't the answer for mobility for paddling etc.
I’ve been hearing great things about alpaca socks, with quite a few people preferring them over wool. Have you given them a try yet?
I have not tried them...but now I think I should!!
Did you forget to link the pogies Pete?
I did...thanks! got it in there now.
I wear my pogies the same way for the same reason.
right on!
