Got up this morning to go offshore fishing, We left the dock to go about five miles out and I thought it would be a good idea to test the gear in the wind. 33 degrees at 6:30 and a water temp of 47 with winds above 15 miles per hour....
yea cold!
The surprise was how blatant the cold got to my back and shoulders - I am thinking all the gear did well except by keeping my back to the wind I got more chilled there than anywhere else... Yes I was layered - had a Under Armour on.
So now I am thinking if I take fleese from a blanket (cut it up) and sew an additional panel into the back on the inside of the North Face jacket, to increase the trapping of air...
Good Idea? or Nuts.
