    I have a 5mm circle one wetsuit, but its kind of restrictive and quite warm for the summer months, and a pain to get in and out of.

    I'm thinking of getting a summer wetsuit (3/2) anyone got any recommendations, or cheap places to buy? Dont want to spend a fortune, but want something decent. Also how far into the winter would you get away with a summer suit, with gloves, booties and hood?

    Thanks

    Where are you based? Tubes in cork, reef in Waterford, reef in Tbay.
    I had a 5mm Alder, got rid of it as it was just a a pain in the arse, I use an O'neill I got from Tubes, and use a thickish rash, hood and boots in winter time, that pretty much sorts me out for the winter, after the first 5 mins your numb anyway!! Oh and gloves of course.
