5 mm suits
Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find great value 5mm suits, they seem pretty hard to track down. Does Neo sport do a 5MM? I am not interested in the Mares Suits with attached hoods that I see everywhere either. Thanks.

Most manufacturers make 5mm suits. I use a Henderson Gold in 5mm. To me, a great value in a wetsuit is, first, one that fits the body well. A cheap suit that doesn't fit well is not a good value. Then price enters into it. You can check the manufacturers web sites to see what they offer.

I second Bare. I have a 7 and would buy a Bare in 5 if I needed it.

I agree with you Warren. I got the 2007 5mm Henderson Thermoprene from ST, and I love it (maybe the price made me love it too???). It does not dry out nearly as fast as other Hendersons.

Definitely an incredible value... I just ordered one for myself.

I'll have to wait until the 27th to tell you how much I love it, though.
