Looking for opinions on what is the best bang for the buck wet suit and where to buy. FJ 3mm the best?
Thanks jack

I've been very happy with my NRS 3mm. Whatever one you get, it's a good idea to have the full length, double zipper.

I have a bunch of neoprene but what I normally wear instead of the traditional farmer john style suit is a pair of 3mm NRS "rodeo pants", and then a choice of tops depending on the weather. I like the pants because they allow me to have a greater choice of upper body coverage. In hot sunny conditions I'll just go with something light to keep the sun off, in cooler temps (most often worn) I use a synthetic t shirt with a mysterioso top over it with a paddle jacket if its wet. If I know I'm going to be surfing or getting soaked I have either a neo vest or a neo shirt that go with the pants. I got most of this stuff from NRS.
