    Help with wet suit

    I'm looking at getting a wet suit this year so i can get into the water sooner, but i don't really know which one i need. i do need one for very cold waters so i was looking at this http://www.oneill.com/mens-products....esID=99&id=118

    or this http://www.oneill.com/mens-products....esID=40&id=180

    any suggestions would be of great help.

    wetsuit

    anything below 55 water temp, go dry suit you will be more comfortable. If you do go wetsuit, Jet pilot are pretty good.

        Keep a cooler full of hot water from your shower. It won't keep them warm, but it is a great way to get the blood circulating again. Then my daughter builds a tent out of a blanket and stuffs the heater vent in and we don't hear from her for a while.

        As far as suit I have the Oneil Boost dry suit. I am 6'4 and 220 I have the large and the whole family uses it, my daughter is 5'6 and 110, it's a little baggy on her, but still keeps her dry.

        My dad always said "Stupid Hurts". He's yet to be proven wrong, but for some reason I keep trying.

            I got a new Adrenaline Dry suit this year and love it. No leaks! Good value for the money.

              Your feet really wont be that cold while riding..its after you get in the boat will your feet be cold so bring some socks. Your bindings actually do protect a little bit from the wind chill. Hands are another thing...just buy some dry suit gloves, those work really well.

                  I have used a Oniel boost and love it. I have one that I have used 3 times, it's a size med if anyone is interested. I don't have time to go when it's that cold, so I'm getting rid of it. Anyone looking for one?
