re: Wetsuit suggestions for sit on top kayaking

I still do not understand why you would consider wearing waders for kayaking. To go hunt in yes, but not kayaking. Especially in the savanah area In that puff mud.
To me it just seems like a big regret to use waders in a kayak especially if you are using them often, buying new and just kayaking.
Through the years I have worn wetsuits, waders, spray suits, bibs and top, and dry suits doing every sport imaginable. (Sailing, kayaking, hunting, fishing, messing around, driving motorboats, etc)
After all that time spent in uncomfortable clothes that are just not right for the job or not up to snuff I finally said screw it. I decided that I would buy the right clothes for the job and since I made that choice I have not looked back.
In 2012 I spent over 100 days on the water in my drysuit and enjoyed almost everyone. I am convinced if I had not had the right equipment for the job I would never have spent that much time out enjoying the outdoors.
It's worth it in the long run to get the right gear for the job IMO.

I know you like those dry suits, but they just seem overkill IMO. Waders are easy, I don't use them for fishing because I don't need them, but I've duck hunted out of my kayak and they work fine. All you really need is some lightweight waterproof pants, and layer accordingly. If you're getting your upper body wet while kayaking in the marsh you're doing it wrong, and if you're doing it wrong, nothing a $20 rain jacket won't solve.

puff mud.
What is this?
I am not using the kayak to fish. It's for paddling. I also want to take it into the ocean.
Waders probably are not the best solution for me. I don't want to be that restricted in movement.

If I am mostly going to be using covering of some sort when the air is warm in the spring before the water gets warm and the fall as the water starts to get cool, would a dry suit still be your preference?
Again, thanks to all for the ideas and suggestions.
