If I think my 4/3 oneil mutant will keep me warm next week? I was fine in it 2 weeks ago. Forecast high is like 41, low is 33 on Xmas day. Chris
You'll be fine bro. You know the water is always 10 degrees warmer in Belmar nj (due to the laboradors)
I. Hate. My. Mutant. So. Much. But I can't complain because I'm too cheap to buy a nice xcel or ripcurl
The coldest sesh in my beat up Quicksilver 4/3 (w/ boots, gloves, hood) last winter one evening at 1st St. (VB) was water 38, air 37, with little wind. Was out for an hour. But I'm 59, and my cold tolerance seems to have decreased significantly this past year.
I purchased one about 2 years ago. It was highly recommended. It was quite nice at first. The the seals (that are on the exterior) started to crack and separate. I cleaned that thing off after every use and even used wetsuit shampoo on it. It now sits in my closet. I didn't use it enough to get rid of it, but I am not using it. I think of it as a 3/2 +. If it is too cold, I soon will be as well as the weather that is cold that makes me cold when it is too cold with the Mutant wetsuit that does not prevent me from being cold when it is cold and I don't want to be cold when it is cold and I am wearing the Mutant wetsuit that does not keep me from being cold in the cold, yet keeps me moderately warm when it is not cold because then I am not cold when it is not cold.
