Clothing - In Between Conditions

Clothing for shoulder monthes between Winter and Summer, or mixed conditions - cold water but medium to warm air temperature, etc.

Farmer Johns/Janes, Shorties

Before you rely too heavily on these styles for warmth you should test them in the conditions you intend to use them in. Farmer Johns/Janes can be deceptive - providing a fair amount of warmth while you are dry, but providing surprisingly little protection when wet or submerged particularly if they are the style with long zippers - often such zippers and/or the suits simply allow too much rapid water entry and exit to slow heat loss. If paired with a snug top, water flow-thru rate can be reduced.
