On the colder winter mornings in NSD I'll wear a hood with no boots or gloves. No shame. I abhor wearing boots and have found that the hood negates the need for them to some extent. Plus i'm a pussy and I get cold really easily

5mm Claws is where I draw the line. I haven't had a day cold enough to need thicker. At that point its usually my hips that get cold before my hands or feet.rec 7MM XCEL robster craws..
ahaahh the amount of hoods out in cardiff today was insane. I was in a 3/2 and boots granted today was pretty chilly. Hope you got some!watching someone in cardiff with a hood on and no gloves or boots hurts my brain
Ever tried the 8mm Fire from Solite?The difference between 5mm and 7mm for me is about an hr in the water in Feb/Mar. My feet always go first, would gladly buy heated booties if anyone made em..
I might have to try these. Once my feet go, I'm pretty much useless. I notice when I go from 5mil boots to 7mil sometimes I kind of roll over my toe. Not sure if that is me getting old or lazy. 5mil lobster claws usually good for the winter but have a pair of 7mil mittens I use when its really cold, or I know I can have a longer session (in NJ).Ever tried the 8mm Fire from Solite?
I have them since two winters and never had cold feet.
I have the Velcro's. Can't comment on the non Velcro version but agree with you that boots without fill with water.On those Solites is it worth getting the "Fire" version with the velcro straps? Would think yes because every boot I've had without one fills with water. Sold out of the 8mm Fires but the regular ones are available.
