Cold Feet

[thinwater]

Yup, winter's coming, and soon the wimps will either pull their boats for the season or head south ( ), we stalwarts will enjoy quite (but colder) waters.


What about cold feet. Seaboots are the standard answer, but for most boats they are overkill most of of the time. For sport boats they are clunky. So what do you like?

• Goretex shoes of some type.
• Waterproof socks.
• Neoprene dinghy boots.
• Wonder Bread bags.
• Something else? Something you would like tested?

My PDQ was a very dry boat, so Goretex shoes were the most I ever needed, and I seldom needed those. Just fleece socks and ordinary deck shoes. My F-24 gets water in the cockpit and lacks the hard top, so it if it is cold, rainy, and wild I might wear a drysuit (attached feet) with dinghy boots or deck shoes. If it's warm wet feet are OK or just dinghy boots or Goretex socks. But I would like to have something agile I could wear with regular rain gear, or even spray gear when the only threat is the open transom.
