Freakin 115-120 degree heat and 50 degree water. What is the preferred wear of those who have been in July.
Is a drytop neccessary, maybe rash guard or is hyro skin enough. Any and all info greatly appreciated.

The water is FREEZING ASS COLD and the temps are extremely hot. I wore a drytop for a few days but soon abandoned it.
