Brooks vs Reed. Battle of the Tuiliqs
Спорт
Which tuiliq is the best for kayaking? Brooks or Reed's? After many years of using these tuiliqs I can answer that.

Living up in Northern Norway and rolling all year around, I wear Brooks tuilik during winther/spring, and my Comfort Paddling tuilik during summer/autumn. I prefer the CP rather than my Reed. Unfortunately CP is difficult to find nowadays. I don’t know if they are out of business.
I have both the Brooks and Reed (with insulation) tuiliq. Prefer the looser fit to the Brooks.
I have the MPS for the exact purpose that you use it for. Alas no tuiliq yet but I’ll get there, in the meantime I wear it under a paddle jacket with latex wrist seals which keep my arms much drier than the mps does. I am interested in the comfort paddling tuiliq over the others.

I will see if I can get hold of one from Comfort paddling.
I have Brooks. Underneath I wear a kokatat Hydrus drypants (only boxershorts underneath), and a thin wool or synthetic t-shirt. I think I would die from the heat if i wore as much clothing underneath as you do 😅😅😅 Usually only wear more clothing underneath when temperatures are below freezing, -0C and colder.

Ha ha. I do make a few rolls every time I'm out so I need on base layer on. If its really cold, or surfing when its below 10°C, I wear the dry suit under.
Nice! But my god, you forgot to explain the Tjockkörv å Tunnbrö! I hope it tasted fine :)

I'm not at home (working as a kayak guide in Antarctica atm) so I can't check the size I have. But I think I got a L and it's ok for me. I'm 1.70cm and just under 90kg. I think you probably will find a XL a bit too large but I also think it can work.
