    looking to buy a wetsuit for the fall/winter.
    i mostly surf wrighstville.
    i talked to some local dudes n they said grab a 3/2mm and get it in a large

    im 6'0" and 185 lbs, are they right on the size/thickness suggestion?

    Well, if you're like me, i would get a 4/3 cuz I absolutely froze last year in a 3/2, but then again, I'm only 14 and have no fat insulation.

    unfortunately i have a layer of fat that should keep me decently warm. but i was thinking its better to play it safe; buy the 4/3mm and if its too hot then ill just sweat a little, its better than freezing my nuts off i guess

    whichever wt. you go for look for a suit thats got glued seams on the inside rather than just stitching. they keep out more water.
