kfennell Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 So I am looking for a wetsuit now that the water is below 70 here. Ward recommend that I look at triathlete wetsuits , however it seems that many of them are fairly thin, including the one suit that I see recommended the aqua skin WT 50 ($145) at only .5-1mm. Is this warm enough for water to around 55-60 degrees? I probably won't be skiing when it is really cold, but I would like to be a little more comfortable though november.

junkee Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I highly recommend the o'neil gooru. You can get shorty with long sleeves or a full wetsuit. Severall people I ski with have them and all are really happy with them.  Tadd at h2oz can set you up.

Baller Chef23 Posted October 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have an aqua skin that I wear in those temperatures. I do wear only a long sleeve top when the water is in the low 60s though. The WT-50 keeps me surprisingly dry and is very flexible.

Baller eyepeeler Posted October 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2010 Where is the best place to get the wt-50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 There is a guy on ebay selling them for $50 less then anyone else and has a good selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 The website for the aqua skins says to order a size larger then normal, have you found this to be correct? I am in the measurements for a XL but WAY over the top weight so I am going to get an XXL i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller disland Posted October 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2010 Anyone try the full suit Camaro, lots of pros wearing them. Not sure thats a sponsorship thing or a performance thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuney Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I use a Jobe wetsuit(shorty style), I was skiing in high 40's water this past weekend and I had no problems at all - I felt comfortable. It was still cold though... I think I paid around $45 on sale at costco a couple years ago... they run around $75 new I think. I'm very happy with this suit.

Baller Chef23 Posted October 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2010 I weight 230 at 6' and have the XXL. My only issue is that it is a little tight in the neck but I have an 18" neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rayn Posted October 12, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2010 It's not a pretty picture when Chef puts the suit on for those of us in the boathttp://www.ballofspray.com/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopowpow Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 disland - a few years ago Wade Williams told me that the Camaros were great full suits, light weight, & comfortable. You could get by with a lighter weight Camaro than an O'Neill.

Baller Dirt Posted October 15, 2010 Baller Share Posted October 15, 2010 I didnt think you would need a wetsuit being a canadian transplant. I like the gooru wetsuits. They are very thin and warm. I have not tried the triath suits. I have heard they are hard to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 I don't know why everyone says that... If you went to the middle of death valley would you not be hot? Just because I'm from Canada doesn't mean I'm a polar bear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
