 Nothing beats a full suit for staying warm and dry, and Kokatats really are the best. People think it's overkill but it's not. Your actually wearing less then with waders and a drytop, it's far lighter and more comfortable, and since it's all goretex it's not clammy or damp feeling. It's also completely water tight and you can even swim in it. One night a buddy and I were talking on the water about me wearing it at Redondo harbor. I said: "Watch this" took off my gloves hat and vest then jumped off my yak and swam across the channel and back. The only thing that got wet was my head and hands and since it traps in the air it's naturally buoyant so you really don't even need to wear a vest with it. My only gripe and the reason I don't wear it all the time is that whatever you put under it your pretty much stuck with it. I mean if you launch with a bunch of layers under it at 3:00am by 10:00am your hot and with that heavy waterproof divesuit zipper it's really hard to get on and off. I can do it but it's a hassle and it's not like a drytop where you can quickly pull it off and change what's under it. Hooping it works because there's no sun to heat you up, and I tend to stay about the same temp all night long. I Just wear a 1 piece polar fleece liner under it and I'm good, where when I hooped with waders I had to pile on a lot more gear to stay warm. There's a million ways to do this but if your really into hooping, or fishing in weather that's consistently cold you can't beat those suits. I love mine I couldn't imagine hooping with out it. |
