Nah, I guess the 10-11 degrees water temp at the moment helps!

Thanks for the info folks. Now then, at Cape today in 7 degrees my weezle extreme was great. Shame it restricts movement a bit although I could reach the valves with a bit of faffing about. I might get the xerotherms for summer and then see how far into winter they take me B4 I get chilled. I like the idea of less bulk/more mobility

Thanks to all

Kirky

To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

Carefull what you go for, the xerotherms are considerably thiner than the arctic, I would rekon the arctic in the summer may be the way to go? next time we meet I'll bring both lots and you can have a look.

Nice one James. I meant the arctics of course. We are at Cape next saturday with Dave J et al if you fancy the journey - Anglesey is still a pile of crap by all accounts !!
