Be comfortable in your skin people! Be happy.
I know the feeling!
there are a few reasons why I would go with both a 3mm and 7 mm custom, first off 3mm are cheaper so if you dont like the suit you spent less money second bye ordering a 3mm first they have already created a pattern so it will cheaper for your 7mm and the fit will be perfect and most custom suit makers will give you 1 free alteration within a year so if you lose or gain weight they will alter it for you free
Grimloc, This is good advice. Here in SoCal we are fortunate to have several custom wetsuit tailors. Unless you have one within driving distance, order both. Get the hood as well. There is nothing more comfortable than a tailored hood.
