staying warm in a tube this time of year?

[DKSRenegade]

There are pants made of fleece sold for tubers. They are warm and also wick moisture away from your body. I used to use sweats but they don't wick moisture. Next get "Smart Wool" socks in heavy for extra cold. This brand is a little pricey but worth the money. Now if you are using noeprene waders you are set. If you use light breathable waders you may still get cold. Also remember that much of your body heat escapes off of your head so wear a warm cap. Try to keep your hands as dry as possible. Take a towel and an extra pair of gloves to rotate with. Now when everything you have done doesn't keep you warm, get out of the water for a while so you don't get hypothermia. Once your core body temp drops, it is hard to get it back up. Use common sense and don't get too cold, and you will have a fun day on the water.
