Cold weather setup

[On the fly]

+1 on that relief zipper. Also keep your fishing license and Id out side your suit. Terry can tell you when the DNR stopped to check license in winter is tough to get it out. I leave mine in console of Cuda 14

+2 on the relief zipper. Gotta love the the center console of the cuda. Another item to leave in the center console when wearing a drysuit is a pee cup. Sorry, had to say it.

The Arch Rival has latex neck and wrist gaskets and latex booties for maximum protection. At $799 this is a great value in a latex drysuit. Also has relief zipper. They also make great paddling pants and paddling tops! We have the above instock if anyone wants to try on. Tax free in Delaware Too!!

I do not own either suit but at those prices it probably worth doing some online research. Both suits have the semi-dry neoprene neck gasket and latex gaskets at the wrist.

These are very good prices compared to the other top rated brands, but can find zero ratings for these. Has anyone tried these or seen a review?

Given the price I was convinced and went to order both a top and pants but they were out of stock

Now if someone makes dry pants with a relief zipper, that is something I would be interested in checking out.

Anyone have waterproof gloves that they're happy with? Picked up a pair of Hans off Amazon, and they seem to run about a size too large and I'm planning on sending them back. Figured i'd see if anyone has found the illusive perfect glove.

I have these neoprene gloves from BPS: http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shop...product/73534/

I think I'll get these though for those really cold days: http://www.basspro.com/Glacier-Glove...3011205261662/
Dick's Sports carries Glacier Gloves too, if the one closest to you carries outdoor sports.

I am interested to see what everybody is using for gloves. I don't think I can fish with full fingered gloves. I have read about fishing with fleece or wool fingerless gloves and making sure you have multiple pairs to change out of during the day.

I've had decoy neoprene gloves for duck hunting that I'm lucky if i can make it thru a full season, and I'm scared what paddling would do to the same material. Seems like alot of the surfcasters in N NJ/MA/NY tend to go with the Stormr brand neoprene gloves. The Glacier gloves have pretty decent reviews, on amazon it seems that its a crapshoot depending who the "Seller" is.

I can't deal with gloves. Most of my cold weather fishing is extremely light tackle jigging for either YPs or panfish through the ice. I just stuff my pockets full of hand warmers and sometimes wear light underarmour windproof jogging gloves. I have a pair of glacier gloves and stormr gloves that never get used because they're way too bulky.

I put my hands in the water to wash off fish slime, so going gloveless isn't a good option for me. Besides, I need one hand on the rudder control while trolling too. My hands get cold pretty easy, and when it starts to hurt it's not much fun...I'm a wimp.
