How many wetsuits do you own?

I'll start: 4

1. One skin (custom fitted)
2. One Polartec (custom fitted - about 2.5 mm equivalent)
3. One 1mm neopreme (for putting over Polartec in the Pacific Ocean)
4. One Old Polartec (not custom fitted, wearing out).

As a byproduct, I have one thin pair of gloves and one pair of 5mm gloves.
I had another pair but they got religious on me and are now gone.

I have one suit that fits me, its a 3 mm shorty.

Another 3 mm full that is way too big for me but fits my older brother.

Another 3 mm full that doesn't fit anyone in my family, we got it for free from a friend (maybe sell it here if I get permission).

A 5 mm hood that fits my brother.

And 3 mm tropical booties

I also have a neoprene mask strap from scubatoys

1. 3 mil Heat Wave
2. 2 mil Seaquest shorty
3. 3/4/5 mil Deep See
4. 2 mil farmer john for layering
5. 7 mil custom made
6. 3/4/5 Parkway hooded vest

These were all purchased on ebay. All were new or virtually new and keep me toasty warm in Ohio's quarries - except for this time of year.

Skin Suit
3 mm full
3 mm shorty
7 mm short
5 mm full
7 mm full
Hooded Vest

I guess I just want the flexibility. Now, looking at a drysuit. Should have saved the money and went straight to the drysuit - probably would have been cheaper.

Actually, a couple of these belong to my 13 year old.

My wife and I each have two wetsuits and a dry suit.

I have a NeoSport 3/2 full suit, a Bare Velocity 7/6 full suit and a Bare XCD2 Pro drysuit.

My wife has a Bare velocity 3mm full suit, a ScubaPro Thermal Tec 7/5 suit and a Bare HD Trilam Dry Suit.

I actually have two-a 3mm for the warm water and a 6.5 semi dry for the cold water...I may look into a skin for getting the other suits on easier.
