Tunder LJ 4.0: Greater Thermal Comfort in Cold Weather

Elements Thunder LJ 4.0 These neoprene long johns are designed for paddlers who spend time in colder water or paddle in cooler weather.

Expert Advice

A 4-millimeter long john is suitable for colder water, but you can easily get too warm in it during intense paddling in warm weather. Therefore, choose it based primarily on the water temperature, not just the air temperature. For spring and fall paddling, pair the Tunder LJ 4.0 with a functional or thermal layer under the wetsuit and a paddling jacket over it. The wetsuit should fit snugly but must not restrict your ability to squat, bend forward, or move your shoulders when paddling.
