    Do you guys and gals ride all year round?

    What do you use wet suites or dry suites. Summer in NZ is just to short :wink:

    Yer I go out in winter. I tried a dry suit and only used it once. I now use a vest with a hood under my wet suit. That keeps me warm. You can get wetsuits with a titanium lining but they are expensive.

    The hot skin is a rash shirt made from titanium and is bloody warm...bout $75 for short sleeve...A tour coat is a "coat" that fits over your vest and from 2mm neopreme same as a wetsuit...Bout$200-300

    If your short on cash like most of us jetskiers look on trade me for everything you need. It will save you heaps over buying new.
