In Response To: How Cold? (Don Beale)

if you're paddling solo you should be able to roll or, using a paddlefloat re-entry, get back in your boat within 5 minutes. if you're paddling with a buddy, he should be able to rescue you within 5 minutes. therefor, you need clothing which will keep you warm for that long. if neither of these parameters can be met by you or your buddy .. i think you shouldn't be on the water til spring warm-up.
