It used to be that wetsuits were a commodity, but there is a difference. I dare you to hop into a Neilpryde Elite or 5000 series suits and say they're not far better. Obviously, it is over kill for where we live, but it will weigh less than your thinner suit and feel like it is a part of your skin. Water sheds off the suit like nothing else. The inner liner is awesome and you can stand on the beach all day if you want to without getting all clammy

trust me, the 5000 Neil Pryde series is some seriously warm and flexible as heck suit. sure the cheap surf suits will do the job ( if thick enough ) , but they will never be as warm and manueverable with the quality neoprene that gives you yoga like flexibility with neoprene that shrugs off the wind chill like it didn't exist. thats important for early mornings when it blows most.

BTW, who is doing dawn patrol fri morning? Danny? I got a nice NP 5000 5/3 that I know I'll be cozy in even at 44 deg, just need my op gloves and I'm set.

DP, NE body?
