From the fringes of the bell curve.....

Been wearing a PolarTec pullover under my semi-dry top/long john
combo, but am looking for something with comparable insulation,
but less water absorption - and therefore better insulation, less
weight when wet.

"Semi dry" because after a few trips through the rinse cycle
(surf use) there is significant water penetration into the top.

Thought "Mysterioso" at first, but it seems like it's main claim
to fame is that it has a non-absorbent skin - reducing
evaporative cooling: moot with the dry top.

I'm looking for long sleeves, but with max freedom of motion.

I'd think the ideal would be some sort of
super-light/super-flexible neoprene cut very loose (since the dry
top would supply the flush-control normally supplied by a neo
suit's tightness.

Suggestions?
