There's another one here.

Cool guys, im not alone then.

I might not get them yet as winters coming sailing will have to wait for next year.

When do you guys stop sailing in uk waters?

if theres ice on the lake i sail a club topper and smash up the ice.

i used to sail out of hartlepool North east coast that got bitter cold.

i also used to live a boat (40ft bruce roberts spray) in the marina and the wind never stop howling in winter and when it was raininng like tennis balls non stop for a fortnight that got really depressing.

i don't know of anything worse, when you can not get off the boat and your stuck there with 4 other people it gets a bit tense.

anyway shouldn't we be talking about hikinbg pants as the convo topic has changed a bit.

Roll on summer.

Hi Paul + Co,
here is some input from other for you: I know from German racing Laserites, they wear often Queenssport hinkingpants (see pic´s): “Hikers” (about 130 Euros) or “Rob Scheidt´s Hikers-lite” (about 150 Euro) or with ¾ legs: Waverider (about 140 Euro) / “Waverider-lite” (about 160 Euros).

Hikers-lite:

I wear (when it is about 22 to 30 air-degree Celsius) since this summer the “Pro Range”-Wetsuit (in colour black, not orange like on the pic´s of course) from “High Performance NZL” (www.hikingpantsnz.com ->gotto link “pro range page” at the homepage for more information). It´s heavy and strong, has hiking battens at the legs and will hold until I become a cruising-GGM-Laserite, I think - but I got it only for 99 Euro in GER…
