looks intriguing but you could just stuff a hot water bottle down the front of your wettie before you hit the water! - come to think of it that is a fine idea - might give it a try!!

Mmmmm

What about a battery powered, heated waist coat like the ones sold to bikers under a dry suit ?

It would probably be too hot !

Oh yes!

These ides do sound quite toasty now that it is getting cold and frosty out there. I've always thought about using these hand-warmer pouches you can get and stuffing them into strategic parts of your wetsuit for that nice warm feeling.
