for what you pay for them ive found that rash vests are an unbelievably versitile and worth while peice of kit, be it a single layer under a BA in summer or a few layers of them over one layer of thermals in winter, ive never been cold using them! by far worth at least having two in your bag.

I go on the theory that if the sheets are frozen and the cover is all stiff then it's drysuit time, but I don't get all of the air out of it because if you leave a bit of air in it it gets warm and stays warm! Other than that i wear shorts and T shirt with Gill spray top and Musto high up trousers, keeps me warm 3 miles offshore in 28kts of breeze in a National 12 and Laser 4000!

You pee in your wetsuit!!!!! There is an advantage to wearing your BA on the outside - if you have to be rescued it gives the rescuers something to grab |

And don't pee in your dry suit. It don't flush through like a wetsuit or so I've been told.

Also make sure you never rip one where it may
become submerged - or you have legs of water (not nice if you fall in). Max |
