Hey all,

I am moving to Alaska for the summer and I only have a 2-3mm wetsuit.

I am looking for a thick wetsuit, preferably a drysuit, around $300 but I can spend a little more if something good comes along. I am 6'0" and I weigh about 160lbs, so I am skinny.

I need something before I leave May 1.

Please let me know if you have anything!!!

Go for a drysuit so you can layer underneath as required.

I have an extra semi-dry but just looked up size chart and won't fit you. 

Did you ask the guys up there what they use.  If you will only need it for a few months I would buy something that you will be able to use when you get back.  Will you be working on a boat, kayaking, diving or other activity.  If a 7mm will work call Matt over at Red Triangle because he had several options in you price range.

Matt who is active on this site and opened a spearfishing shop in concord (out of his garage)  but when I have ordered over the phone I got it the next day because of location.  Maybe you can stop by on way to Bay Area
