I am going to glom onto this post... I was prepared to buy a 3mm for my trip to Bonaire in late January. But, now I am wondering if 3mm will be enough.

Topside, I tend to feel colder than most. It's not unusual for me to wear a fleece after the sun goes down in 75 deg F weather.

My plan was to buy something affordable ($100-$150) since I would only be using it on warm water trips. In Michigan, I will be relying on either my dry suit or 7mm.

Other than gut instincts, what criteria would you use to determine your wetsuit thickness?

Thanks!
Nat
