Isn a wet suit a lot cheaper?
A typical kayaking/rafting style farmer john wet suit (3 mm neoprene sleeveless bib pant) runs about $100.00 – 150.00, but then you will usually want some of paddling jacket or dry top to go with it for rafting, kayaking, etc. and these days most people are choosing Gore-Tex tops for this which typically cost around $350.00 – $500.00 So when you look at the wet suit option as a complete system, it may be that a coated nylon dry suit is less expensive and a Gore-Tex dry suit is only a little more.
