Feet and hand protection recommendations
 
Santa brought us a couple International Barefoot Drysuites for Xmas, so I had to test it out in the swimming pool yeserday, water temp was 33 degrees, the suite worked great, but my feet and hands were freezing *ss cold!!!!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a certain boot that will help keep your feet warm with a drysuite and tolerate an open toe wakeboard binding? also looking for a cold weather glove recommendation to help with hand warmth. Not sure if a face mask is needed, weather here in Nor-Cal is usually 55-60 degrees during day, I think the lake water temps are running 50-55 degrees this time of year.

Any help or feedback appreciated.... thank you!

Check out the O'neill Psycho gloves

neo footies and a squid lid will help as well

Picked up some neo socks at REI, work great, no problems at all getting in or out of bindings

The psycho gloves are perfect. they are 1.5 mm thick. Surf caps work well for the head and closed toe boots are all ya need but I have seen people wear thin neo socks in their boots for added warmth.

I would get some 4mm neo socks. I have a pair of neo sports 3mm gloves and they work great.
