Hi everyone,

i'm looking to buy a good value wetsuit for swimming 30 minutes max, maybe paddle or surf, of size 3/2 for better movements. Im wondering though if it can be warm enough for waters between let's say 14 and 20 degres celsius. I will have a top lycra under to help a bit.

I found a wetsuit i'd like to buy and im looking if anyone has experience zith the C-Skins brand and can tell me if these are good and warm wetsuits. This model:

"Breathable Flatlock seams" = means leaky bottom basement construction.

Get a wetsuit with at least GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) Seams

When I researched fullsuits recently most of the reviews said the O'Neill Reactor-2 was the best entry level for flexibility/performance. I think mine was around $115
Supposedly it's been the best value for a number of years now and worked well for me, down to about the high 50's F.
