you still need a 5/4 with 5 mil boots and lobster claws and probably a hood too, at least in vb.

 

not using the 4/3 anymore its time to go with a 3/2 now. no hood when its warm and hood if its a little cold in NJ for me.

 

It all depends on the quality of your 3/2 suit. If you have a higher end 3/2 with taped and sealed seams and such you should be ok right now (early May). If you have a lower-end 3/2 with flatlock stiching you're going to freeze in it until mid-late May at earliest.

 

if we keep this thread going, we'll all be trunkin it before it ends. . .

 

You can trunk it now.

 

I had a friend who went in last friday with a 3/2 and just boots. no hood or gloves and he was good. So you should be fine with the stuff you got now.

 

u can defintly get by with a 3/2 if u got boots and gloves, i went out yesterday with just my suit and a hood and i was fine

 

5/4 and VERY comfy. Went w/out hood for first time this week. But did get a big swoosh of cold water down the neck once and it flushed out all my good warm water!

 

3/2

yo now that the water is at least 55 and were in mid may, you guys think its safe to say we should be fine in a 3.2 with 3mill boots? haven't been out since friday, just wondering if anyone has been out in the south jersey area..what the temp like?

 

Does anyone realize this thread was posted a month ago?

 

I was out in 4/3 last weekend on friday and i was real warm in my 4/3 and wanted to be in my 3/2 so bad. The next day i used my 3/2 and i was fine.

 

yeah you can def handle that ive been with that setup for the past two month

 

went out this weekend with no boots, no goves, no probem! (& i'm a ***** with cold) - be trunkin very soon!
wait - you mean i can't say *****? man, this is a ***** forum!

Feet

Would my feet be too numb if I stop wearing booties at 55?

 

Last weekend it was 53F and we tried taking off our boots and gloves. NOT recommended in my opinion!

 

You can get away without gloves. We had our gloves off last week....not bad at all. You still need boots though.

 

today i was out for three hours with just a 3/2 and 5mm boots. I was fine

 

Same here in NJ yesterday. Factor in the urine and I was very warm.
