Hover Bover

Good point. They are hot in the summer but no different from an immersion suite. I guess you could leave the zip open, particularly with the front zip variety, so long as you reckon you have enough time / height to zip it up! You really don't want them filling up with water!! At the end of the day I suppose in the summer it depends how much discomfort you are prepared to put up with for the added security. I wear a dry suit in the winter - not in the summer. I am not sure how much sense this makes because as the safety sense leaflets makes clear the sea temperature doesn't vary a lot - but then again if half your trips over water are in the summer and half in the winter you improve your chances by 50% maybe?*!
