Hi Roger
If you are sailing on a day where the thermometer reads 50°, and the wind is blowing a steady 15 MPH, the wind chill will make it feel like it is 36° (heat will be lost as though you are standing outside on a calm 36° day).? There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing which wetsuit to wear when it comes to wind chill.? Just remember, the higher the sustained wind speeds are on the water, the thicker and warmer your wetsuit needs to be that day.
In addition to water and air temperatures consider the following:
- Your sensitivity to getting cold
- How active you will be
Note: For colder than water air temperatures, higher wind, less active sailing, or if you get cold easily, consider a thicker wetsuit
