Just got through our winter & rode two or three days a week.
I wear a Psycho II 3/2, booties under my mids & a cap under my cable helmet.
Keeps me pretty toasty.

Bit like G.K.D. Just finished our winter over the ditch in NZ and got out every now and again when I could. Just had the holey 4/3 and that managed to do the job riding in 9degree water - wasn't too bad.

9 degree weather?!?! No thanks!!!

That's likely 9 degree C so it's like 48F

Good wetsuit and booties go a loooooong way for cold water riding.

48F still sucks!!!! After being on a broken down jet ski in 45 degree water I'm done once it gets to 50 haha. Skate board time.

it was 42deg. here this morning and our lake is down to about 3-6 ft of water depending on what side of it you are on so it's just about as cold in the water as the air and as we speak chris is in his full 3-2....we also have some dry suits for nov. and dec. ridding.but when its below 55deg. in the water im just a driver, my old ass bones cant take that kinda water temp.
