Which wetsuit are you wearing now?

Postby charliedontsurf » Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:45 pm

I mean, when you're in the water. I'm new to the area and am thinking I need a hooded 5/4/3 or a 6/5/4. I'm curious if any of you have tried the new suits made with "geoprene" (limestone-based neoprene) from Patagonia, Matuse or West. Hoping to create some chatter about what works for each of you......

I wore a 6/5/4 5ml gloves and 7ml Booties and froze my toes off..... but heading to warm water in two days.....

I have only used Rip Curl.

6/5/4 MFBomb year round. It works great for me.

The dry one. It's a rip curl if you must know.
