Cold Water Zone 40F/5C+

For water from 40F/5C and up. This is proper winter conditions, where cold feet and numb hands can end the session before the waves do. 5mm boots and gloves will keep most people warm with water temps in the low-mid 40s (F) and higher. If you get cold easier you may want to step up the 7-8mm boots or 6-7mm mitts. Likewise, some hearty souls also have no problem staying warm in our 3mm gloves in water down to the mid 40s.
