Default Bag Dry Suit: How Dry?

I've been using a Kokatat GoreTex bag suit this year.

After a typical hour of fairly hard flat water paddling, my shirt undergarment
picks up about 400 grams of water. That's fairly wet - almost dripping.


Are you wearing a PFD? Goretex doesn't breathe as well with 1" of foam
strapped over it, in my experience.
