I started by buying a wetsuit (25 years ago), then transitioned to spraysuit with fleece underneath (about 20 years ago). The Spraysuit was vastly superior to wetsuit for comfort in all conditions, especially after getting out of the water from going over. Then I bit the bullet for a goretex drysuit (about 6 or 7 years ago)and I wear it in all conditions now. When the temp is in the high 80's, I just wear thin "wicking" long johns underneath. When temperatures get below 70, then I am wearing fleece inside the drysuit. The goretex drysuit (Kokotat) will allow me to get chilled easily if I don't layer properly, but it keeps me dry. Also, when ordering the drysuit, get the goretex booties option. Your feet never get wet!

Get the drysuit and don't look back. I tried all three options and regret I didn't get the Kokotat sooner.
