surprising development with booties, need windproof type

[GetHighOrDieTrying]

I currently ride the Atan Hot Mistral in 6.5mm and will never ride other booties again.

Tried booties from various of the large brands over the years and never liked any of them. The really thick ones kept me warm but I lost all the feeling. My Atan provide the best feel I ever had with any booties. In the beginning I was worried that they might not be sufficiently warm but they do and I ride in NE coast conditions all year round. Also love they are handmade by real craftsmen for decades. Would love to have them make some gloves as well.

i have a pair of 7mm oneil heats. in combo with a bootied drysuit my feet are perfectly warm. my hands get cold way faster. the water here is like 42F, air around the same. my hands get cold due to wind chill just like your feet.

Do not buy Solites for kiting. bought a pair. First time out, i planted foot on beach against kite pretty hard, my bigtoe punched out the front ripping the rubber material. Almost broke my toe. Sent a photo to them and got another pair on warranty.
First time out with new pair, this time whole foot pushed out of shoe and it was totally ripped.
Tossed them in the trash and let it go. A waste of money.
