Im looking at getting a semi-dry for New York waters (there is no option for a dry suit what so ever) and I read the review for the Pinnacle Stealth at DiverNet, but when I search online, and check Pinnacles website it is no where to be found. Does anyone know if we can get these in the US?

I don't think the Stealth is one of the models availaible in the US. The two suits that we we have always carried and had good luck with are the Polar (7mm, attached hood, wetsuit zipper across the chest) and the Extreme (8mm, attached hood, drysuit zipper across the chest)

Not that you asked, but I've heard great things about the neoprene drysuit from O'neill.

Actually, I've heard the following:

1. Valves used to be a problem, have improved.
2. Wears like a dream in the water.
3. Pain in the ***** to get on above water.
4. Good quality, great price.

Well, it looks like my choices are between the Pinnacle Aquatics and Xcel line. Im looking mostly at the Pinnacle Polar and the Xcel 9-8-7-6 and the 8-7-6, any opinions?

You could also look at the new Mares Isotherm. This has been popular out here in the chilly waters of N. CA. http://mares.com/product_detail.php?id=127&region=USA.
You should also attempt to try one on first. All manufacturers use different patterns for their suits. One will most likely fit better than the other.
