Drysuit Diving - Where do you get cold first

[Storker]

I dive 3-finger wetgloves, so for me it's my fingers. Especially after 45+ minutes.

Cold-climate tip: If your fingers and toes are cold, consider a new/thicker/more snug hood (topside: cap). Alternatively (or also), add another layer of wool to your torso.

Hands used to be the issue, but since I have switched to dry gloves (heavy duty rubber gloves over heavy ragg wool gloves) it is not a problem anymore. The hands will chill if the dry gloves are damp, but usually not enough to be a problem. I always wear two pairs of socks - wool socks over a lighter pair, so feet are not really a problem. I do tend to chill in the torso area, especially when the air and water temperatures drop. I just add another layer to help me stay warm, which allows me to dive all year round.

Dive safe - stay warm !!
