The fishing kayaks that are being made today are extremely stable.<br><br>That's not to say that it couldn't happen. When I am not in a group and on calm water, my cold water apparel is thick neoprene chest waders with insulating under garment. I can stand in 35 degree water for over an hour without getting cold. I was out on the water for over two hours a couple of weeks ago when temps were in their teens and I stayed toasty warm. I'm sure that if I went into the drink, it would be a different story, I've seen demonstrations of how neoprene chest waders with a chest belt will keep you dry and warm in the event of an upset and I take care to not be out in deep water when it's cold if help is not close at hand.

Not even once. My bigger concern would be spray and such. I wear chest waders sometimes if it's wicked cold, or just water proof pants from Columbia Outerwear if it's just chilly.
