men and women and cold water

I have read that at ultra-distance running women also out perform men.

Were the people wearing just the thin dry suit in cold water? Don't you usually wear fleece layers under the dry suit depending on water temperature?

The brochure was for several types of drysuit, all more "working suits" than paddling suits. As I recall the one test was with people wearing regular clothes underneath, the second was with them wearing Ursuits own fleece liner suit underneath.

I get warm very fast when paddling, so I've worn this suit with just a wicking layer underneath.

So . . . if any of us is ever being chased by a man who can run faster than us, all we have to do is jump in an icy lake to escape!

I'm glad there is a way to apply this knowledge when I'm not out kayaking.

I thought this thread would be about "shrinkage".
