Hi,
I have a 5mm semi-dry wetsuit, but I moved to colder waters and it doesn't get the work done anymore. I have been using rentals so far, but I wanna buy one now.
My mindset is, since I will buy a wetsuit for coldwater, I should get the most insulated one.
So, I found out the oneill 7000 J-type that has an internal jacket of an extra 5mm. Making a protection of 12mm on the core area.
Do you have any other suggestions? The ones that fit well without letting water get in. Like, with elastic cuffs.
What do you use and you believe keeps you warm at 57 degrees AND UP?
I thought about getting a shorty wetsuit, like a 3/2 or 2/1 and just wearing under my 5mm. But I am not sure it will hold the cold.
What do you say?
PS: PLEASE DON'T REPLY TELLING ME TO GET DRY SUIT. CAN'T AFFORD IT. Thanks
Thanks a lot
