Hi

With winter coming in and water temp. now droping my sailing gear needs to start protecting me from the water as well as the elements.

At the moment I have the Zhick hydrophobic flese top and then over it the rooster thermaflexy thing.

Anyway the thermaflex thing works well in the water thanks to the neoprene but it holds alot of water when im sailing and I think thats making me cold so im after a wamer neoprene top to put over the zick top.

The Neilpride race skin looks good but ive seen a Gull neoprene zip top for half the price.

Whats the best bit of kit for the colder months.

My mid temperature top wear is a Rooster polypro base
layer, a thermoflex top and a Gul code zero spray top over
that. Works well for me. Though I'm moving into drysuit
weather territory at present.
