Drysuit vs Zhik Superwarm Suit??

I disagree - when I'm hiking hard my heart rate is between 140-160bpm, same as when I'm going for a brisk cycle or a run, and it keeps me just as warm as doing those two activities.

(I have to cycle in shorts unless it's below freezing or I get too hot).

So you keep your HR at 140-160 BPM for 15+ minutes?

I can't say I share your experience.

(I wear shorts year round, well below freezing. Just because I want to.)

Also, your period should have gone inside your parentheses.

Yup, I've raced with a HR monitor a few times to see what kind of effort it takes. Going downwind it drops a little, but a lot less than you'd think if working the boat hard.

Obviously I'm talking about "max power" conditions here...

I don't have to be running at 140+, can quite happily perch over the rail and just tick over, but believe me you go much faster when working hard.
