So i Did! : Scored Crewsaver Neoprene immersion Suit for only 80$!!!!!!!!!!!! You can not beat that!!!! Unpacked and donned in under 2 minutes Fire retardant Neoprene construction Withstands the impact of a jump into water from 4.5m Prevents a typical wearer’s core body temperature from dropping by more than 2C after six hours in calm water of 0-2C Now i can spent all the time i want in the water during those cold cold nights :-)

Any thought guys? (those who dredge)

Hmmm. The skirt looks a little short for dredging.

Waders are something I've been meaning to pick up for the last year for fishing as well as detecting but with money being tight have continued with the 5mm wet suit. But if you can avoid scaring the locals, that immersion suit should work well!

I was in my river up until June with some good frosts and snow melt. I have been using a 5mm wettie suit but just tried out a 9mm wettie long john (The gear you need to soap up to get on) I also have a 3 mm vest with a turtle neck to prevent occasional the cold rush down the back of my neck. (I also have a full face mask) 6 to 8 hours in 10 to 12C (at a guess) and the only discomfort was fingers and hands when I had the gloves off. I think I will stick with a wet suit.
