Winter clothing

[D4V33]

Hi all, as winter approaches, I have got myself a dry suit to keep myself on the water a little bit later into the year for some cod fishing. The dry suit is fitted with socks, so need to get myself a pair of boots suitable for wading in the water when launching.

So quick question - do any of you guys wear a dry suit when out on your sib, and if so what type of footwear / boots are suitable to wear with it?

Yes, often wear a drysuit on the sib, rib or hard boat….toasty warm in crappy weather. Socks under the attached drysuit socks with either sailing boots or Crocs over.

When I bought my first drysuit I was strongly recommended to avoid dinghy sailing/wetsuit boots with zips, as apparently many people catch the rubber socks in the zips and put holes in them! Aigle used to make lace up dinghy boots which we had, although I must admit sometimes I very carefully use zip up boots these days...

Always fitted with neoprene boots with thick socks also always take a wind proof jacket to prevent wind chill believe me it’s a must.
