well usually depending on the water temp, a good 7mm wetsuit is sufficient. but as the water temps drop you may either use a drysuit or go with a wetsuit heater from your dredge.these plans and devices are sold at various dealers or can be made if you got the time and info on them. ive been in the upper 30 degree water and never used a heater, but as im getting older, it may come in handy!

Newer wetsuits have righteous closed cell rubber--but ya need more lead to keep your butt down on the bottom. Used heaters for over 20+ years but now no need for me. I guess i'm too old to get cold?? Tons a au 2 u 2-John
