I'm a pretty cold tolerant diver (lots of bioprene ), but after diving 57 F water in La Jolla, I've decided I'm going to need a little more than my 3mm.
After getting a little sticker shock over the 5mm and 7mm suits (I need high stretch), I'm thinking of going with layering...specifically a 3mm shorty for my core, then add a hood.
Anyone have experience doing this? How does 3mm suit + 3mm shorty compare to a regular 5mm?
Any other cold water wet suit strategies? I'm not looking to get into a dry suit just yet.
