The Kokatat Tropos Super Nova paddling suit that Bob pointed to a couple of posts ago is compelling: good brand, good reviews, and half the price of GoreTex. The Tropos material is supposed to be almost as good as GoreTex. They call it a "semi-dry" suit because the neck seal is not designed for full immersion. Always wearing a PFD and sailing on a small lake like Lake Lanier, it seems unlikely that I would submerge my neck frequently. It is also supposed to be more comfortable on the neck. Is not having a true dry suit neck seal a huge problem on a reasonably small lake?
