    I agree austin. i only have a 5/4/3 and 2/3 and right now the water is inbetween for me, i wish i still fitted in my 4/3 that would of been perfect. but as far as good 3/2 suits go. i have the 1st verison of the billabong revolution and it was ok, it was super light and warm but the sealing wasnt that good, but now that billabong bought xcel there wetsuits will be a lot better, so check it out. but i hear that the oneill psycho 1 3/2 is a really good, flexible suit. it has the lightest/warmest ratio. about 300 bucks though...my one friend is sponsored by hyperflex and loves their amp 3/2. thats only 200

    Best thing for the NJ area for me is just having a 3/2 and a 5/4. No need for a 4/3 around here. I made a mistake on getting one a few years ago so it does come in handy but if I was broke or could redo things I would deff go with just a really good 3/2 and a decent 5/4.
