Pull over wool sweaters are very handy, warmth when wet, and available from thrift shops. Combing, lite base layer, sweater with a splash jacket, life jacket, and helmet has covered me for many years in Spring, late Fall, and warmer Winter days on white water class 1 to mild 4. The base layer reduces or elimantes wool's "scratchness". These layers can be added or removed as cercumstantes dictate. Also, always a life jacket on top of the layers.

I hoped you would address spring paddling where air temp is around 80 and water temp is around 40- 50. That's the weather I face with spring in Minnesota.

Wetsuits get HOT while paddling and do not need to be wet to provide that warmth

I’ve been collecting dri fit shirts from thrift stores for a while now. Much cheaper than paddling specific short sleeve shirts. I will need some colder or mid temp stuff though.

I don't think that's going to help if you take an unplanned swim in cold water.

A question I have, I currently own the sea eagle 385 fast Trac with the black seats. Although comfortable to the back the seat part can be a little hard on the bottom for longer trips. I know you have reviewed many different seat cushions with different kayaks, and I’m wondering if I was going to look for a more comfortable seat, which one would you recommend as many of them are adaptable? I remember you saying that the aqua glide chelan seat was very comfortable? Also, sea eagle has there inflatable? Let me know. This could also be a good video comparison to do in future…

One of the drawbacks of 'most' inflatable or otherwise portable kayaks is the comfort of the seats. In my opinion, the most comfortable seats are framed/suspension seats. Only a few inflatables have these - like the NRS Pike, which I recently reviewed. Not only are they more comfortable, but the elevated sitting position is easier on your back. Unfortunately, they're not an option for all kayaks.

I dread wearing a drysuit in anything much over 50 degree air temperature.
