Looking for 7mm wet/dry suit

[squidster]

My local dive shop has scuba pro but can get mares ,we are in the mountains,cold water.
If any of you colder water divers have any input i would love to hear it.
I am getting close to purchase time.
I cannot afford dry suit yet.
and i like the flexability of wet/dry suit.

I dive in Pacific NW where the water temps are in the 40's and 50's. I started out in a O'Neill 7mm J-type wetsuit and loved it. Kept me very warm with the integrated inner 5mm core vest and then the 7mm shell over that. Never felt cold in it. I recently moved to a dry suit (Apollo 4.0 EX which can be had for less that $1000) and it is great. Note, I moved to the drysuit primarily because I was getting cold *after* getting out of the water when removing the suit (was fine in the water in the wet suit) due to the much colder air. I plan to use my wetsuit during the warmer months again.

There are many good wet and dry suits out there, this is just my experience. Have fun!

What's your height, weight, chest, waist and shoe sizes?
Someone posting here may have something that'd fit you.
I may have an old Unisuit here that'd cost less than a high priced wetsuit.
