“Foiling in chilly weather?

I gave it a few sessions to form my personal opinion on the 2mm Harnessfit Neoprene Sweat. Since I ride all year long in water that hovers between 5 and 8°C during winter, I’d say I make a pretty solid guinea pig.

That harness slot is a real game-changer. It used to be such a hassle with my old sailing jacket. I went with size M for my 180 cm height, layering it over my 4/5mm wetsuit, impact vest, and long-sleeve bodyguard. No velcro at the wrists or waist, which made me skeptical about how well it would keep water out. Turns out, it’s not a problem. No overheating, even during extended pumping efforts. Full freedom of movement, and the hood is a super nice touch after the session. No pockets, but that would mean extra seams and cost. All in all, I’m delighted and it’s a keeper!
