Bibs & coat for me & i keep my life jacket on until i get loaded back up to head home.
Artic armor fer me.
I have a BPS 100mph suit. I don't know if they even still make it but it's a Gore knockoff membrane, DWR finish on the shell. Parka & Bibs. It was very reasonable and is 15 years old but looks great. I use it because Winter Fishing is my Favorite Fishing.
Windproof is what you want. Makes all the difference in the world. Pair it with a good thermal base layer, and you can get away with a lot less clothing.
For running spot to spot, I have a pair of goggles that will go over my glasses, and a hoodie with a built in facemask that I can pull up to keep the chill off.
Yeah the goggles are going to be key. I was on the water last week and it was in the lower mid 50's to low 60's and it was drizzling rain and I couldn't see very good and it was making me nervous as it was getting dark and already hard to watch for other boats.
The key is layering! On our coldest days, I can get out there with a good base layer (Long Johns/Under Armor), good socks, a warm shirt, sweat shirt hoodie, my insulated bibs, and I bring the carhartt jacket in case it gets any colder. I also bring a pair of sweat pants to put on as well if it's that cold. If that doesn't get me warm, I have a set of the Frogg Toggs ultralight rain gear to put over all of it. The Frogg Toggs will cook you if you aren't careful, they are great at cutting rain and wind. No moisture in and no moisture out, so be careful about how sweaty you get.
