I've had this drysuit for over a month now and it goes on all my adventures with me throughout the winter. I started paddling in the autumn and caught the bug so I needed a way to carry on safely through the winter. The Palm drysuit really is absolute top notch quality. I've paddled in the worst conditions, wind, waves, the terrible British weather and been in the water a few times. Been in the water for over an hour and was still bone dry inside. Be sure to layer up well underneath as it won't provide much in the way of insulation. I only have 1 thing I dislike about this. The socks are just way way too big. You have to stuff them into a boot and they bunch up and pinch and restrict my circulation a bit. Otherwise this is a fabulous piece of kit that keeps you doing what you love all year round.
