Hello, I'm in the market for a 5 mil suit for use in around 70F temps. I'm currently using an older 3 mil with a 3 mil hooded vest and marginally too cold for the dives I'm doing, Mexican caves. I would like to avoid going to a 7 mil suit if I can and a drysuit is out of the question for me at this time. A 5mil semi-dry, if that's even something that exists, would be interesting to me.
I wonder if the stretchier materials (like Henderson) sacrifice some warmth over denser, less stretchy materials. I welcome any recommendations and/or opinions. I'm a pretty average size person, probably most off-the-rack medium or medium-short suits will fit okay.
Thanks!
