Just ordered a 5/4 velocity last week from divetank(fri). Got email confirmation it was sent out this week. as for off and on I plan on wearing a skin. Makes things much easier. I too took a long time getting my drysuit but it's an os systems. Was some mix-up with orders but they made it right. I also have a henderson hot skin, gotcha 3/2 shorty, and an aquatic systems polartech(equiv to 3 mil). Not really loyal to one brand. I buy what fits best. Learned early on if I go strictly by cost I'm actually short changing myself. I like to save bucks like anybody but less is not always better.
