True enough. But under 7/8C you dont want the water constantly swapping out for new ice cold stuff. So the strategy of attempting to keep the water out becomes the correct one, wether it actually works or not. So long as it slows the ingres down.
I was out in a dry 2C night before last, in brushed lycra tights, merino t-shirt, and a softshell. I was really comfortable. Same clothe 2 days earlier in a 4C hale/rain storm, and I was fecking freezing. Really unhappy TBH.
Its always like this for me in Autumm. Takes a while for me to get my HTFU on.
