Pick My Suit!!
I'm down to these 4 wetsuits. I'm in the Orlando area (Winter Garden) and we typically don't see water temps too cold but I'm sure they'll be in the 60's soon. Air temps are usually in the mid 70's this time through first of the year with occasional cold snaps but I won't be wakeboarding those days.
I know the glued seams are ideal as well as a water tight zipper but plain and simple I just can't afford an expensive suit, times are tight.
I aslo wasn't sure if I should get long sleeve/short sleeve & full suit or short.
Here are the 4 I'm down to

H20dssey 3/2 full suit

I should also note that I'm on a tight budget, the guys that I ride with have cheapo suits (one doesn't have one at all) so they won't want to ride on cold days anyway. The main purpose of this suit is to try and get an extra couple of months out of the season (November & February)Last edited by cham; 11-14-2010 at 11:16 AM.

Our water doesn't usually get any higher than that, although this summer it got to like 85 and we started getting infections in our eyes and ears when we went out from all the bacteria.
We've had some cool nights so I'm guessing the water is in the 60's now. Air temps in the mid to upper 70's.2005 Air Nautique SV211 Team Edition

I went to college in Tampa (basically the same weather/water temps) and we skied year round with no wet suits. Man up. Make sure you have sweats/thermals in the boat when you get out. There is no cost to sucking it up.
