#1477, "RE: Grisolm Island, Long Beach" In response to In response to 1
I wear wetsuits, and Steve wears waders. I have many different suits from surfing, so I just where one of them. Besides, it's nice to be able to pee when ever I need to ( this is often do to a medical problem). The one I wore last night is a 4/3 Body Glove. I wore 2mm booties also. I have some 3mm dive booties, but they suck. Both pairs are from Body Glove also. I pull the suit just over my waist and then wear appropriate outerwear. Last night that consisted of a turtleneck t-shirt, a polar fleece vest, a light polar fleece jacket, and a windbreaker. I was warm at first, but once on the backside of the island the wind was cold. I also wore my lifeguard hat for warmth and to keep the glare of the lights off the inside of my glasses. I stayed sufficiently warm.
