    If anyone went in yesterday was it necessary for boots and gloves to be worn or just one or none?

    Can anyone comment on NJ temps? I'd love to hit it tomorrow without boots or gloves. We tried to three weeks ago and it was still too cold.

    Trunking it real soon in NJ

    It felt way warmer than 57 degrees in Monmouth County, NJ today. Started w/LS thermal & short john suit and was warm. Ended at hi-tide after 3+ hours w/ only the johnny...So nice.
    Note: had the sun with me most of the time. It did get a bit chilly when the sun was clouded.

    Personal preference and tolerance for cold. started with boots and gloves, but took off gloves. Boots still comfy.
