This has been my first year really giving waterfowl a try. I got a late start and only did 5 hunts but I feel a new addiction beginning already. By the third trip I’d bought a beaver tail Phantom off marketplace and acquired about 18 old beat up decoys.
How do you guys layer up for hunting the marsh? Especially out of a kayak or similar? Between the decoys, water off my waders in the boat, water coming off the paddle, etc it’s impossible to stay dry and I’m reluctant to put on puffy just to have dampness crush its loft. Is a heavy ass fleece the solution?
 
It really depends on hunting style, the marsh topography, and what you're doing in the area. Having a dry bag for clothes you want to put on after you reach a place and have set up your blind can be pretty helpful, especially if you need to exert a lot of effort to get there and set up, but then will just be standing or sitting in the cold and the wind.

Are you actually shooting out of the kayak, or just using it for transport?
