Couldn't I just use a nice looking, warm dive buddy? Isn't it good practice to stay in close contact on land too?Randy43068:thing that will keep you warm on your SI and will withstand water.
They make what seem like special parkas for divers. One of the LDSs in Columbus has 'em, but I don't see the need for anything special. Just get something that'll keep you warm.
