Semi-Dry vs a good 7 mm with Hooded Vest, How Much Difference?

Drysuits will be my next adventure but not until winter.

Drysuits currently have a 2-4 month delivery time, per everything I’ve read here and friends have reported. If you’re looking at ordering one for use this winter, you need to order NOW.

Calm down...there are plenty of shops and websites with off the rack models to choose. The lead time you mention is only for custom made suits. Not everyone has non-standard body measurements and wants/requires a custom solution like you do.

Dressing up in anything more than 5mm is too painful. I now only do 3mm, 5mm or dry

I'm looking at them now specifically for that reason. Off-the-rack doesn't usually fit me and I currently have a wetsuit being custom made. There are a couple of shops in our area that have rentals and if they have anything that fits me, I'll use rentals for training.
