Out of interest, how many people here use the Fladen type insulated immersion suits?

Very interesting, thanks Mike.

ive just got a typhoon dry suit with layers under. Im sure ive seen other positive things about the Fladen suits either on here or elsewhere before.

Not sure about their suitability for paddlers.

I thought I read somewhere that they were designed for boat work. The problem being that they are a bit thick an bulky for the exertion of paddling. Then ou have the problem of overheating and sweating in the cold at anchor plus the lack of mobility whilst actually paddling.
