Hoping for a bit of guidance on where to buy a wetsuit suitable for fishing the ocean, preferably under 150 dollars. Internet options or stores in the Bay Area are both fine by me. Also wondering about size. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs with a 34" waist and somewhat broad shoulders. Any advice is appreciated.

I also bought a NRS 3mm Farmer John and I have been totally happy with with it for kayak fishing. It's very comfortable and easy to take off and pee in my Hobie drivewell. Front zippers all the way!!!!! Bought it at Austin Kayak w/ discount and free shipping (no tax too).

To pee or not pee, that not a question.
