    You may find a 5/4 wetsuit for that but dont chince on the booties and gloves. When the extremities get cold the rest is soon to follow. Good quality and well fitting are very important with no leaks. Excell gloves are awesome, Excel and Oniel booties are both good. Warmer is better for winter.

    dude, if your foot fits in a 9 you'll be dead from the ankle down in an 11. id reccomend goin the full mile and getting a decent suit. the quality/fit of the wetsuit will determine how cold you are out there. when you get cold your performance suffers alot. im not saying you cant find a good deal out there from someone, but i think its a bad idea to have such a broad size range. find out what fits you best, and don't settle for anything but.

    p.s. get a chest zip if you can. its worth it, trust me

    haha 10.5 booties, this was for my friend and I wasn't sure what size so I guessed, but he is a 10.5. Ya chestzips are the way to go that is what I have and water does not get passed the zipper.

    how are you going to know how much the gear leaks or doesn't leak until you're in the water? Spend the extra coin and get new, hypothermia sucks

    like new West Lotus size large. Hooded with liquid sealed seams for sale or trade a couple of threads below this. Let me know if you're interested.

    I usually wear a medium but put on some weight last year and picked this up. Now I'm back down to fighting weight so looking to get back into a 5 mil medium.
