I have zero experience with wet suits. My question is - in a SHTF situation, if I am kayaking to an island and not planning on going into the water, is it smart to wear a wet suit underneath my clothes, or just wear the wet suit by itself? This is in the PNW.

Terrible idea, in a shtf scenario you don't want to lug around a heavy wet suit or waste time changing into it. Also if you kayak you'll be extremely visible so I don't know why you'd want to do that either.

wetsuits are meant for being in the water. dry suit is what you want. wet suits depending on the kind you have can be quite restrictive to movement.

I don’t think a wet suit needs to be on your priority list in shtf desu. Seems a little ridiculous

Playing around in water during SHTF isnt a bright idea. You're a slow moving sitting duck that cant fight back

I like to keep a wetsuit under my street clothes and then a wetsuit over all of that

Drysuit liners comfy AF.
Get some thick gloves, or dive mittens. Most drysuits don’t have the gloves connected, and your hands are gonna freeze and you lose dexterity.
