My cold water jacket is the Kokatat Tempest Jacket. It comes with latex wrist gasket, a hood to keep your head dry and warm and latex neck gasket.

Get a 3 mm farmer john wetsuit for under the pants and a splash jacket.

+1 on tempest jacket.  It will keep your top dry and that hoodie is good too.  Only thing is that neck gasket will choke you out the first few times you wear it.  Oh yea and if you have a fat head like I do, it will take some time getting it back out the gasket.   :smt044

Is the latex neck gasket new?  Mine have a neoprene neck gasket.

My neck wasn't the issue for me.  The wrist gaskets were uber tight.  I ended up stretching them out by sliding some plastic cups in them.

No apology necessary.  Just thought that maybe they'd made the upgrade.

I just saw an ad for the Kokolat Tempest jacket for $161.60 if you don't need a Large. 
http://www.kayakproshop.com/Kok_TempestJkt.html
Color selection is limited.
If you can do without the hood the semi-dry Palm Kinetic is on sale in Large for $159.00.

I like it because it has the more comfortable neoprene collar (like the Tempest).
I ordered one yesterday and they emailed me back saying that the Extra Large is also available for $159.00 and I chose that one.
