I personally like the 4/3 suit, 5mm boots and the 3mm gloves combo. i'd rather be a little warm and let some water in my suit to cool down than to be cold trying to gain warmth. i'll drop to a 3/2 once the temp. rises a bit

go with the 3/2 man maybe a 1mil top under but i went out with a 3/2 and no gloves and hood and i was fine
I've been fine with just the same setup, but only when the air temps are up past the 55-60º mark and higher. Oooo it feels soo good!! I was out one day last week or so, and I was all hungover and all with a headache, and I just kept dunking my head and splashing myself in the face.. felt so good; I was just going under on purpose and taking waves to the face.
hah yeah same. when those temps get up around 80 (like last week and the week before) i purposely flush my 5/3 (either that or a 3/2 lol) every once in a while. its keeps me super warm this time of year and allows me to cool off whenever I feel like it.
I did Friday in OC in a 3/2 with gloves and boots, switched to a 4/3 with just boots on saturday and did two three hour sessions. Definitely chilly hands but it was worth it.
i have a 3/2 with 3 boots.... no hood or gloves and i'm fine, just a little brain freeze when i get a closeout
That one day when the air temp was in the eightys people ere trunking it. Iwore a ****ty 3/2, 3m booties, 5m gloves and was compleatly fine.
I was out this past weekend in a 4/3 with 5mil boots and 5mil gloves. It was perfect. I was really surprised with the water temperature. No gloves is do-able in DE. I will break out the 3/2 when i dont need boots or gloves anymore.
