Hi all

Looking for something for longboard windsurfing. I have long-john wetsuits and such but I tend to get over heated wearing them in summer. What I'm after is like a rash vest for your legs. Probably not a lycra bodysuit, as the sight of the beer belly might turn people off windsurfing but still something that will protect the legs.

Any thoughts?

Kayak pants. I think they are 1 or 1.5 mm. Try adrenalin brand. Kogan has them on special

Some people wear stinger suits. Years ago I found a pair of lycra pants in a ladies gymwear shop that served well against jellyfish and the sun.

I went to long johns because I'm continually knocking the skin off my shins. My nurse wife berates me saying I'm an osteopath myalitis case waiting to happen. Might get a pair of long wetsuit pants this summer to keep a bit cooler

these are Lycra:

Try Skins, or their equivalent. Latest ones I got from KMart or Target. Same Lycra type material. My wife kindly sews elastic to hook under arch of foot to stop upward movement. Work well under a pair of boardies.

Various Lycra pants available that do the job well. I typically get Adrenalin brand through wetsuit warehouse. Great, and last well. Otherwise think about 1mm wetsuit pants - warmer but more protection. I have a set of Probe 1mm pants that have gone strong for 5 years.
