Winter Wetsuit

Postby Jonah_Fro » Tue Jul 10, 2007 9:11 am

Hi,

I bought a C Skins Vault 5-3 earlier this year (March) and have a thermal rashie. Do you guys think this will be enough to keep me surfing through the winter?

I remember a mate of mine mentioning a dry suit, but I can't imagine it'd be flexible enough for surfing.

A 5/3 will be fine for winter in the uk. You should get yourself some gloves and boots though, and a hood to stop you getting headaches.
