It can be a very good wetsuit but maybe not the most advanced.

I’m looking for a 5/3 but could i get some advice about what brands are good and what to avoid?
I’ve heard good things about o’neill and billabong, what about brands like animal?

Thanks

What would be the most comfortable suit for swimming? If I use a hood, could I use a shorty? What kind of a hood?
Thanks,

Were talking-into the water, moderate swim rate, 1-1.5 miles and then out of the water?
Thanks, Jim

They are normally somewhat cheaper than a full wetsuit and can run as low as $50.

I want a short sleeve one with shorts not pants – what would you recommend?

The water temp would keep rising since I am in Canada, southern Ontario and would not reach plus 10 degrees till late May.
Let me know your thoughts,
Thanks
Dani
p.s is there a difference between mens and ladies wetsuits?

For anything under 12-13C water temp I would say 4/3. Even 13-15C water temp I would recommend a 3/2 only to people who swim actively and then get out of the water. If the water is not to cold then 8C air is OK for 3/2.

My Mum is wanting a wetsuit for swimming in the winter here in Australia. The Temps can go as low at 8 Degrees C, which converts to 46 Degrees F in the US. Would you suggest a 3/2 for these temps as well?

many thanks.
