What wetsuits you wear - 2007/10/19 01:55Hey bros, I've look at the forum and last topics concerning wetsuits were back down 05 and many changes have been improuved in neoprenne. What wet suits you wear? where you use it(water temp) ? experience with brand? I'm looking for comments of everyone to shop my next one. I have a old 3/2 bare and I'm freezing at 58 water in The wall, new england. I'm looking maybe for the JEt PIlot chamber zipperless 4/3 but don't know if I can get in really cold water?? waiting from you

Re:What wetsuits you wear - 2007/10/19 05:51I use a 4/3 Gotcha fullsuit in the Mediterranean, only from november to April, the rest of the year boardshorts When I travel to Euskadi, Cantabria or France (Landes) I wear the same.
Here in the Med the water is really cold some days in winter, more than in northern Spain.http://ripadores.blogspot.com

Re:What wetsuits you wear - 2007/10/20 23:14when it's under 10 Celsius, I use a RipCurl 6/5/4 Fbomb with 7mm boots, 5mm gloves
Over 10-18 Celsius, i use the 4/3mm E-bomb, sometimes with boots,
If you need Farenheit i'd put it like this:
water temps in the :
-30's: 6/5mm -40's: 5/3 with boots gloves and hood -50's 4/3mm maybe boots too, sometimes gloves -60's 3/2mm -70's 2mm LS shorty or SS full depending on air temps -80's you are a puss if you where anything more than a vest
