[cool][#0000ff]No disagreement from this kid. I have made do with a single pair of breathables for many years. Got my first neoprenes only after moving back to Utah 2 years ago and use them only on the coldest days. There are lots of times when I know that an extra layer of fleece under the breathables would keep me just as warm as the neoprenes. As you point out, the breathables have the neoprene feet, and that is the area where cold causes most problems with most tubers.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Once I finish off the pair of 'prenes I am using now, I shall not replace them. My recommendation is only for the benefit of some folks who have a low tolerance of cold. There are a few of those. Me? I have a super metabolism and do not chill easily. My wife is jealous because when we get rained on (without rain gear) I steam dry my clothes quickly while she still shivvers.[/#0000ff]
