OK, more research into my recent OC-1 obsession. I am in FL and am a real sissy about the cold air and water temps. At least what feels cold to me which is anything below 70. I am preparing to buy a wetsuit for my SUP. Do you guys use wetsuits in an OC or is there more appropriate foul weather gear? Thanks again for walking me through my learning process.

you could try layering if your on a canoe or out of the water for the most part like Rash Guard , with murenno wool and dry suit pants and top. or even a 1000$ full dry suit. I cant get usto the scuba suit feeling.
good luck

When it is not too bad, I use the Polyolefin shorts and shirts. This company has nice long shorts and short sleeve shirts. Be warned that their long sleeve shirts have very short sleeves.

When it is colder I will wear hydroskin pants or capris from NRS.

You probably won't need a wetsuit at those temps, once you're paddling, you'd be roasting in a wetsuit. Just layer w/ the poly etc.
