As with the jacket, the most popular types are the Cabelas Guide Wear and the Bass Pro Shops 100 MPH gear. The obvious reason for good, insulated boots is to keep your feet warm and dry. Many boots have the same Gore Tex membrane as the jacket and bibs, which keeps moisture out, while allowing for evaporation of sweat. Most boots have "Thinsulate" insulation, ranging from 100- 1000+ grams. The higher the number, the warmer the boots should be. It is important to pick the right amount of insulation to keep your feet warm, without making them sweat too much.

If you end up in the drink they will quickly become waterlogged and heavy. And once you're back on the yak (if you can get back on) you will get very cold, very quickly.
The only thermals you should wear are those designed for immersion. Most diving, wetsuit and surf brands produce thermal rashies with a polyfleece lining that will keep you warm both in and out of the water.
I wear one of these under a shirt or waterproof jacket nearly all year around in Vic:

Pretty common for the Vic guys to use thermals over winter and the adrenalin brand is pretty good value for money - I myself use Adrenalin thermal pants under a set of kayak dry pants and a long sleeve thermal top under a dry jacket ( Cage ) without much need to layer up any more than that and trust me winter fishing down here in Vic can be on the chilly side
Nah itβs the pedalers trying to keep up with the paddlers that heat up the quickestoutback paul wrote: β28 Apr 2022, 18:19
Another consideration is whether you are paddling or pedaling as you will probably heat up more quickly with a paddle in hand.
