ok so its getting kinda cold around here and i got pretty sick from riding in teh cold water and then the wind didnt help, so i want to get a heater shirt. does anyone have a heater shirt that keeps them really warm while trying to save a lil cash. i dont know what to look for because all the shirts online are hard to judge by pictures and they just look like surf shrits and teh info on them isnt the best. id rather not get a suit because i want to save money, so any info would be awesome.

haha yea i know its not that cold down here compared to other places, but somehow i still get sick and im pretty skinny so warm water to you is prolly cold to me. and i mean the wind as in, the water was cold but then once your up the wind from riding makes it that much colder, so i was thinking a shirt ot keep me a tee bit warma nd break the wind so i dont freeze.

The water here is about 58 degrees already, I'm rockin a O'neill Gooru 2.1 long sleeve and I'm still pretty toasty.

I have a long sleeve underarmour shirt that works a bit. Still trunkin it here in MD, although it was pretty cold today. Fullsuit time is close, a top wouldn't be worth much for very long now, at least in my neck of da woods. I hear good things about skating in drysuits though. Anybody wanna recomend a good one?

This is whatcha need, a propane stove. I have seriously logged so many hours and made so many lunches on this joker. It's not much bigger than a laptop and you just lock the can in and bang, you got flame. Get a cast iron pan and your set. Today I made bacon and egg sandwiches when we first got out..mmmmm.we rode then after getting cold b/c it was raining also I made one can of soup, then some fried flounder sandwiches with a lil LTO. After a rest and a chance to warm up.....from the inside, I was eager for round two.

well i mean it never gets like freezing and if it was im not going to ride in 30 degree weather, just something to keep me warm you know. but then again if im going to spend money on it, i want something thats really going to work.

and i think my dad bought one of those stove things, i need to start usuing it it is pretty handy for cookin some food and has a hand warmer attachment to.

that must have been a cold front. It's 90 in ATX. The lakes a cool 62 degrees. WHoS coming to waketoberfest?

well thanks for the input guys, i think i may order the oniell one sometime soon.

and nate yea i think it may have been but were getting another one today and so that isnt going to help. plus, we were riding when it was super cloudy so thats another factor, im just a wuss when it comes to cold water.

brianl289, what is your budget? I got a sweet LS springsuit from a RipCurl outlet here in SoCal for $45. They have all kinds of deals there.....try to find an outlet shop if you have one, if not, pm me for some more info.
