I'm in the market for a new 3/2 summer suit and am going to buy from NP as I can get a discount from knowing someone who works there. Looking on their website they have 4 different models; the rise, the mission, the recon, and the combat. The combat seems to be more cold-weather oriented, so I probably won't get one of those. The rise seems to be a more budget version, which doesn't make too much sense because I'm getting a discount anyway. This leaves the mission and the recon, which I'm struggling to find any major differences between. There is a 3/2 mission FZ, a 3/2 recon FZ, and a 3.5 recon BZ. I'm not sure what the major differences are between these, and am struggling to choose one. Why would they make a recon 3/2 and a recon 3.5? Is the only difference the zipper placement? What are the major differences between the recon and the mission? If anyone knows much about these suits I would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks,
Alex

Also, first post!

You could ask your friend who works there.

I did ask my friend, and I'm now just waiting for a reply. Sorry, didn't say I'm using it for windsurfing. I just figured that this was a windsurfing forum. Anyways, I just wanted the opinion of some people who don't work there for a more unbiased response. Oh, and also, being that there's a solid 2 ft of snow outside right now, the water sport community isn't exactly... hopping.

Thanks,
Alex
