Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Triple X inform me they can't do it. Wetsuit side of business is closing down and they're in the process of seeling of the small amount of remaining stock. Get to it if you want a bargain
'boo, will have a look at all options including dive hoods
Truth is, we've had a couple of coldish days already and this arming myself with a 3/2 for winter idea has me wondering if I'm on the right path
Cranked's methodology makes some sense too. Don't think I've seen that combo in the surf since 1979

Why do you even own a wetsuit?

swvic, this place http://www.surf-store.com sells the ION 3/2 and 2/1 hooded vests as well as the NP 0.5mm one. None of them are smoothskin but the ION ones can apparently be worn outside your suit as they've got a jersey lining. it's a UK site but they will send worldwideswvic wrote:Triple X inform me they can't do it.

Looks a goer, godsend. Will purchase a 2/1. 3/2 seems too much

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
It's done by age swiv. They reckon 48 is when you start moaning about the cold. Sounds about right. (It might be worth checking that the 2/1 is actually neoprene - it doesn't really say anything about it on any of the sites)
Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Have asked the 2/1 neoprene question - thanks for imparting your wariness. Will post the answer
As for sizing, they say if you're between sizes go up. XL then
