Furner:I might check out those Bare suits, my preferred LDS is a dealer. If I want Henderson, I have to go to another LDS that I really dont like as much, and but these Bare suits seem cheaper. Are the Bare suits of similar quality to Henderson suits?
Bare make some of the best wetsuits out there - MUCH higher quality than Henderson. Bare suits are made in Canada, and built for Canadian conditions. I have a Bare 7mm hood-integrated semi-dry, and I have been relatively confortable in it in water as cold as 44 (7 C). I have also worn the same suit in the Bahamas in Feb. It was warm, I didn't wear the hood, and kept the zipper part way open, but it worked.
I would suggest that if you want to dive the great lakes in a wetsuit, you need a good, well-fitting, warm (thick) suit that will be overkill for the tropics. You might want to think about renting a suit in Coz...
