Thanks for the info and suggestion. My roll is not solid at all....at least
in "real life" situations. So, I tend to wet exit most of the time. I'm
working at becoming more proficient with the roll but am finding that it's
very different doing a roll under "controlled" conditions as opposed to
sudden capsize in rough water.

How can I deal with the sauna that is created below my skirt when out in

Gortex or similar material but it would probably be expensive.

Seals makes a Tropical Tour skirt made of Sympatex, a breathable
waterproof
fabric. It will set you back about $99. I have one; it still gets warm
under there, but not nearly so much as neoprene. Depending on how solid
your
roll is you could just roll with some frequency! While that does not
directly cool your lower half it seems that when a person's head is cooled
off the rest of the body feels better as well!
