3.2 all year?

Another week or two...if your lucky and don't mind freezing.

 

Once the water gets down to about 50 or so, it is time to hang up the 3-2 and grab the big boy suit. I usually last till about Christmas before I change over.

Wore the 3-2 Tuesday afternoon, but the next few days look so cold, that it is 5-4 time from now until early April.

 

3/2 all year is not going to happen... at least not up here in the Dirty.

 

yeah, that sh*t is retarded. if you're in a 3/2 now or pretty much the past month you're just lying.

 

Once used a 3/2 in Delmarva until January first. It was the coldest I had been since I was 12 using crap dive suit remnants. It all depends on temp, but the year I used it into January was really warm and still by that point I felt like I was going to have a heart attack .

 

Not true.. that swell in the beginning of the month, I wore my 3/2, boots, NO gloves.

But now is definitely time to switch over.

 

gotta bite the bullet and throw down some cash on a 4/3. the blast of swell outta the north we might get this weekend isn't making it any warmer either...

 

4/3 is still cold. go up to a 5/4/3

 

and Matt you need to come here with your hyperflex add haha

 

if you live in the mid atlantic go out and buy the full array of suits to cover all conditions then stop worrying about water temp and go surf

 

the 3/2 days are over for a while my friend. That wind chill must have been 15 degrees today...

 

i wear a 3.2 all year in vb. its not too bad especially since wetsuits dont seem to let water come in untill over an hour into you session with a hood and gloves and booties. did it last year and im gonna be doing this year rocking a 3/2 xzip xcel wetsuit

 

^^naa. i wear a 4/3 all year. im not one of those guys that are only in for an hour either

 

i rocked a unsealed 3/2 with fin booties and gloves my first winter when i started bbing.. you can do it year round.. but your whole body is numb and prone to cramping in 15-20 mins

 

i have a friend who has worn a 3/2 all year in jersey, but hes just nuts...it had a rip in it also

 

I was out the 6th in my 3/2 mutant. I was still chilly, but it wasn't really that bad. I'm looking to go this Sunday as well, but will defo be in my 5/4 XCel.

I've used the 3/2 when the water was a few degrees under 50 (maybe 48), but it was warmer air temps. Again, I was chilly, but nothing terrible.

 

I havent come out of a three two yet I still have not worn gloves yet and this was as of the 14th so four days ago. I don't see what the big deal is. I will switch the the 4/3 probably this weekend just to deal witht he wind so I have a hood.
