  • Cold water gear for the M&G?

    I'm debating if I want to break out my dry suit for the M&G on Saturday. The air and water temp will be close to the 120 rule, but I hate wearing my cold water gear unless it's really cold out. If it was an evening trip, I would probably wear it since it was a bit chilly the evening when Ron and I hit SJC, but I'm not sure about a day trip. Plus, the Revo's seat is wet if I take the plugs out and if I leave the plugs in but get hit by a wave.

    What say you guys?

    Bring it, just in case. I think it'll be cool in the morning, so I plan to bring my waders and splash top because I'll be there before 7 am. If it warms up, I can remove the gear.

      I am bringing my waders. Although, it may be a snap decision in the morning, as to if I wear them or not.

        I will bring the waders and a splash top. It will be chilly in the morning and i always end up putting my legs over the side so i might as well stay dry.

        I need to find some money and update my cold weather gear. Dry pants / top combo has so much flexibility. I'm wide enough and my waders add too my extra bulk.

          I'm leaving in a few minutes for the Wye River. I plan to wear a lightweight and flexible Goretex rain suit and white rubber watermen's boots as my water protection gear. That is what I used last Friday at Neavitt and it worked just fine.
