Jim i got one of these from Intheloop

http://shop.patagonia.com.au/wetsuits/r2/womens-r3-back-zip-full-wetsuit.html

went from an ION 4/3 to a 3mm full wetsuit . the beauty of this is it has lining from ankles , around the groin and front and back chest plus full arm lining .

Super warm in winter and still thin enough to still be wearing atm

build quality (ie stitching) is awesome


the link says women but it is a mens

review of the wetsuit which pretty much is my view of it

I'm going for that Patagonia wetsuit next winter, reviews are awesome on it. Pricey but get what you pay for I guess

not really any more pricey than a comparable ION etc .

I've got a billabong foil that I swear by. It's sealed and warm as. 403 and super warm, happy, comfy, not overly bulky.
I'd recommend it any day.
