Wetsuits-recommendations and thoughts

[Argonaut]

Backbeach,
That is the general consensus among the guys I fish with they make you to brave. Fishing here in Connecticut we seldom experience the surf conditions like you guys in Rhody or Mass we do have our nights though. I have done the breathable wader skinz top and my problem is finding suitable waders that don't leak after a dozen outings. Short of spending over 400 large for a pair of Simms G3 guide waders that are here are quite good I understand there is not much out there. Maybe I should put a post out there about what the best waders are or those you can at least get a few years out of. What we need are seamless waders with kevlar fabric woven into all the wear spots knees butt flanks so when we bang against rocks the wader won't be compromised. Not going to happen though the wader companies WANT you to keep buying new waders. I've been meaning to buy a suspenders inflatable for years probably a good idea.Thanks guys for all the input it was very helpful.

Mark if you get a wet suit there's no telling where you'll end up going. I've already seen boats pull up to you thinking your a lobster pot buoy or channel buoy.

Jay,
I don't deep wade anymore. This year I started realizing my own mortality when I walked 200 yards to the end of a jetty during a moon tide and got stuck. Trying to get back I stepped off the submerged jetty and was treading water for a wee bit. Didn't panic just realized what an a...ole I was for not not keeping an eye on the rising water. I just want a suit because there are no waders out there I have any faith in. That and to get to a rock about 30 yards offshore that 3 fish broke me off on last year....

i got a 5mm neosport this year.
i fished in it alot in spring. it was totally awsome, till i busted the zipper, and didnt bother to get it fixed.
i was using it in rocky areas to get to a few big boulders out another 50 yards from where i would normally be casting. also tried some skiishing, that was awsome.
i was wicked warm and comfy. i had a little less mobility to the arms, but it was worth it in the long run. it was a good purchase and another tool in the arsenal. good for scouting with a mask and snorkel as well.

got the same suit myself this year it is alittle stiff in the arms (couldnt kick up the $ for a hyperstrech)IT is a great tool for wading some spots I fish when the tide is coming in and I don't want to be in trouble when coming back in.I'v done some snorkeling in it as well.
