For all of you who say hypothermia is not a concern in SD:

You do realize that you can go hypothermic in 80 deg water right? Hypothermia is a risk in any water which is cooler than body temp, 98 deg F. Its just the exposure time is longer.

That said, its all about stockingfoot breathable waders, and splash jacket shell. You can put on as many layers as you want under that to handle any day from 80F to 40F. With the waders and the goretex shell, you can go completely submerged and remain mostly dry.
