I am always very cold due to to a lack of Bioprene.
After 20 years I finally found a wetsuit that sort of fits, but thats party because good modern neoprene seems to do a two way stretch

I got a "Waterproof" 7mm streamer which I used with a 5mm shortee and a 2mm vest +hood for diving in the red sea in winter (when another diver on the boat was just in a tshirt...). I was lucky that the son of the owner was also lanky so they have an extra all medium size (apparently 70kg 6ft4 is not a standard british Diver build). This lot was as about as heavy as my drysuit, but les stressful on a liveaboard.

At a dive show , I tried to get made to measure and only 2 companies said they could do it, but they could not quote a prices but "300 plus" was their stimae - I was tempted to use the internet and just send measurements to thailand.
