Outdoor Sports (www.outdoorsports.com) in Wilton CT, 203-762-8324, has a 30% off sale on Kokotat dry suits.

Your still going to perspire inside a dry suit so make sure there is nothing inhibiting the gore-tex from venting, like big rubber boots over the booties, or you'll find pints of sweat cooling your heels. In the winter, even when I wear a layer of poly plus a layer of fleece under my drysuit, persperation can make me feel chilly after a couple hours; then I just throw a fleece or a gore-tex jacket right on top of the drysuit and I'm toasty again.

Another great piece of gear is Outdoor Research gore-tex mitten shells that go almost to the elbow. I usually wear some cheap light fleece gloves inside. Good grip and never leak!
