hi jason, i just got myself a wetsuit on friday, very good for its price, 280 buks, its a peak, make sure you get a 3 mil one or a 3 mil, with a 2 mil arms and legs because anything less you will freaze your tits off, not my words. there isnt ever a cheep time to buy good wetties because they are always gonna have a price tag, just have look around the best sail price you are gonna get is probaly 15 persent off, but if you are gonna get one remember to get these features in it:
glued and stiched seams,
3 millimeter thickness,
adjustable kneck diamiter, if you dont get that you will sufficate.
but for a good wetti be looking at around 300 buks, no matter what time of year, but if you go near the end of finasial year you may be able to get a previose year one for a cheaper price. maby 250 for a top of the line,
enjoy and you should start gettign your own gear asap because once you get youtr own stuff you dont need to worry about breaking other ppls stuff

Jordo, can't see anyone *needing* a 3x2 steamer in spring in SA...... a spring suit would suffice maybe and he can save some cashola. Any SA crew should weigh in to the debate about now....

I have had one for near on 2 years and it rocks as a spring weather warmer and also can be worn under your wettie in winter.
In south Aus I would be recommenindg a 3x2mm wettie and a blastahield to 'Heat It UP'should you still be getting cool

Have not tried the windwarrior silver bullet wetsuits... anuyone out there know what they are like ?

my one wich is made by peak is called a roaster, so i gues it all depends on the brand and what they call them, i have had mine for nearly a year, and it was the best thing i had brought for a while.
