Yes, shorties are good if you are man enough, and most of us river rats are.
I went swimming at Dittlers the other day. It was cold, but right on the edge of doable without a wetty.
I think I'll try it, just shorts and a longsleeve underarmor for a couple tacks, to see how doable it is.
Outside temp is also a big factor as your core needs outside help to reheat.

I seen a shorty yesterday. She was wearing a thong bikini and kiting. Nice cheeks. I don't think she was from around here. They don't sell womens suits like that in the US, do they?

river still hasn't hit 60, So a shorty wouldn't exactly be the best choice if you found yourself in trouble and in the water. Dress for the swim, no sense in drowning from hypothermia while trying to look cool in your shorty. it will be shorty weather soon enough.

Agreed.
I thought I would try today, but I quickly changed my mind and snapped on me OR PyroPro.
But the Columbia hit 60.2 at Bonneville today! |

Water temp is about 80 degrees.
Outside is about 84 degrees.
I was just out there yesterday. You probably don't need a wetsuit.
OH WAIT... sorry guys. Wrong forum. Sorry about that.
Thought I was on the Maui forum.
Sorry.
