I'll be making my first "cold" water dives in a few weeks (Pearl Lake, IL and Lake Michigan, Milwaukee WI). Temps are expected to be in the 50's-60's...give or take depending on our summer here.
Anyways, I'm planning on purchasing a Bare 7mm Arctic and a vest. My questions are:
Should I go with a 7mm vest? Would this be overkill? Is 14mm total on uper extemities too much?
Also, since I don't want to look like a toal newbie...do the vests go over or under? The ones I'm looking at are "step in" styles (one leg has the zipper, the other doesn't). Thanks for the help!
