Last fall I bought a Parkway T1 Titanium wetsuit. I took it to several shallow dives this year, and was warm -- or too warm, -- on all of them. Yesterday came first real test -- 60' dive, bottom temperature 46 F, and I was just ducky! Not "warm" exactly, but within my comfort range. In my old AquaLung I would have been freezing.
 
I have an old Parkway 2.5 mm that I just ADORE! I wear an 8T and that baby fits me like no other ever has. I've tried many times to find one on ,or wherever I can find one, but to no avail. I even bought one from someone that just said it was a medium, but alas it was a size 12 shorty so I still need to resell that one. If only people knew/remembered just how freaking terrific Parkways were! I think I would kill to get my hands on either another 2.5 or something around a 5 mm in my size! :wink: Well, maybe just throttle a little, out of joy of course!

By the way what thickness is yours? And congrats on owning it!

I just refuse to give mine up until it is in tatters, which it is fast approaching. On vacation when I pull that old crusty critter out and donn it I don't get a lot of those silly "is this you first time diving?" questions. I usually get asked what those colors used to be! LOL!

Anyway, just thought I'd pipe in to agree with you that Parkway made a danged fine suit and I bemoan the fact I can't get another on a daily basis (including today while trying to decide on a 5 or 5/4 mm suit because no other 3 mm's can keep me warm enough!

Have a great day and happy diving!

You know, I am not sure. 6.5 mm or 7 mm.

I just looked at your photo gallery. I must be REALLY fond of your wetsuits!
