    For whitewater kayaking we used fuzzy rubber pants and shirts, easy to find.

    I have slept in a Stephenson Warm Lite hooded jacket (about$90) probably 50-75 nights. It is even better than sliced bread.

    The inside fuzzy feels like you are wearing a fleece base layer; very cozy
    It builds a micro green house close to your body so even after striping down to your chest in freezing weather you almost instantly warm up as soon as you put a somewhat tight layer over the VB jacket that presses it to your body. (I purposely bought one size larger not knowing how strong the material would be, whether I would Adds some degree (at least 5 F, probably more) of temperature protection

    Were all those nights 'below freezing' temperatures? The reason I ask: I don't plan on spending much time in wintery cold conditions, but I still want to make sure my insulating layers stay as dry as possible. I've read different opinions on whether VB clothing is useful above freezing.
    Thanks!

    I can see any need for vb clothing above freezing. Its mostly for below 0*F. I've been known to throw a tyvek suit in my pack in the winter. I grab them from work so they're free, and will instantly warm you up. Plus will blend with the snow.
