OK I'm tired on getting cold, now that GS is coming up and lakes are only option prior to that. I have been cold many times. I've heard some uses Mysterioso. I want to try Farmer John 2mm as insulation. Will that work or should I go with 3MM?

Thanks

I used 3mm farmer john + 2mm top + splash jacket + splash pants before moving to dry suit.

You think 2 MM should suffice? I have semi drypants Kokatat Hydrus L and Drytop Stolquist.

thanks bro, but thats way out of my budget LOL.

NRS 3 MM $89 and 2 MM is $55, I'm wondering if anybody used the 2 MM.

Again thank you.

I get cold in 3mm NRS except summer time. So 2mm is less likely.

No worries, just sharing. I am sure there are other brands that are less.
