Salty.:
That's weird. Not a problem for me though since I use the Hobie retractable leash which is clipped to the yak.

Thor-Lo Socks

I can't say enough about these socks.  I carried a dozen pairs with me in Iraq in 2005, through less than ideal washings I sitll have them.  I use them still when I hike, motorcycle ride, fish and wear them under my neoprene foot warmers and dive boots.  They give you extra padding for walking, warmth when you are int he cold and they never really feel to hot.  I would give thor-lo's a 5 star rating, well made and bes tof all made here int he USA!

Be aware that these Xtools dont aways float. I watched with my own eyes when one of our members tossed it to another and missed the catch and we watched this thing disappear into the depths.  :smt044

I'm no expert on the matter but I came across this from a boat forum....

Forget the foam and pack it with 1 and 2 litre plastic soda or water bottles. I've seen so many of the foam flotations that have waterlogged and rotted everything. The foam you would want to use is CLOSED CELL. Most everything you see out there is OPEN cell (great stuff) one prick of the "peal" and it becomes a big sponge. The styrofoam is attacked by petroluem products. Using the water and soda plastic bottles keeps everything dry and provides you with good floatation. They are impervious to most everything and they are Cheap.

use: for layering during cold weather fishing.

I've had mine for over a year now and I'm loving it! It's water repellant, wind proof, wicks the sweat off your body, keeps you warm, quick drying and does not chaff. Wear it under your farmer john and you're good to go!

* You can also use it as a base layer when your skiing / snowboarding or even riding your scooter during the winter months :smt002

* I've also used 'em when swimming in the outdoor pools during winter time.

* They come in long sleeve, short sleeve and vests.

my score:  :smt023  :hello2: :headbang:

* The thermo-X is back !!! Oneil discontinued it for a while but now it's back !!! Aquan Sports in San Carlos has 'em in stock. IMO, It's much better than the mysterioso version.
