Cold weather gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The real question here is....

Who has found that magic combo of dry and warm clothing for cold weather, but allows for quick and easy non restrictive taking of a leak?

Boardshorts year round with UV proof quick drying long sleeve. Splash jacket on colder days. I have a Stohlquist Torrent ST jacket that has held up great over 2 seasons.

If you needs some waterproof winter gear, shoot me a pm.
I have a set of Bomber Gear Kayak Pants Jacket, that when worm in conjunction, it's about close to a dry suit you can get. $150 for the set.
Only used a few times.

The majority of heat loss in the lower body is through the feet. The splash pants are an easy but cold option for a real winter day. Sure you can go out there in boardshorts, but you wont be comfortable on any but the warmest winter days. Full stocking foot breathable waders, and impermeable shell jacket over. warm layers as needed underneath. You can be fully submerged and totally dry underneath.

I agree with Chris, it's all about the feet for me. I tried splash pants with a few different neoprene shoes and always ended up with cold wet feet. Breathable stockingfoot waders worked well. Add thermals and wool socks as needed and I stayed warm and dry.

Surfing booties have worked well for me to keep my feet warm.

Up in norcal, the ocean temperature is around 53 in the summer. A lot of us wear kokatat hydrus 3l supernova angler paddling suits. What you wear underneath depends on your cold tolerance. The best part is it has a relief zipper, so taking a piss is super easy. And if you happen to piss on your legs by accident, just splash some water on it.
