i went rafting with friends in K-country once and elected to float while they rafted. i wore my 6/5 and it was cold, colder than Tofino in winter time.
i also wear 7mm booties and have 3mm gloves.

i would consider a hood
welded seams
a snug ass fit
and maybe a 6/5. better to be warm than cold. if it gets to hot you can always do a flush. (let water in)
excel
quicksilver are pretty good brands
Yeah, but think more south - like San Francisco, Half Moon Bay. I'd like to use it for a few things too like Canyoneering (Utah, around LA) or rafting in Sacramento, so I might want a little thinner.
