  • I doubt you can overheat while wearing dry suit at this temperature, but it's sure can save your ass if you fall in the water. So it's up to you to decide. But you don't even have to wear life jacket by law. So if you want to take chances, it's up to you.

  • Very cool. Today would be the right day to post a video on the U.S. Air accident in New York.. dovetails quite well with this video on hypothermia. I heard the air temp was 6 degrees. Did you see the LT on Fox News tonite.. it was freakn' cold!!

  • cant you over heat wearing a dry suite the whole time on the boat
