I have been looking for an inexpensive wetsuit and I have come across three options. There is someone in town that will sell two Parkway Titanium one in 7mm and one in 5mm. He will let them go for 120 for the set. I can't find a lot about the brand I thought maybe you guys would have an opinion.
The second is a pinnacle 7mm merino lined jumpsuit. I don't think it is the Elastiprene version. He says its been used only a few times. I'm not able to look at it right now because its about 230 miles away. I'll be able to check it out then. He wants 125.
The last one is a 2 piece 7mm farmer john wetsuit. I believe its a Harvey (titanium?). Its used but still has the tags on it. He said the original cost is $490 and he wants $225. My biggest concern is that in the dead of summer the 14mm on the core is going to be too much. But at the same time it would be nice in early spring and fall.
I was figuring that with a 5mm or 5mm jumpsuit I could get a vest or a shorty for the colder months.
What do you guys think of these options. Particularly the first two...I think the harvey is too expensive unless you guys say its way too good to pass up.
