Wetsuit,fullsuit,drysuit

Basically I want to ride as early and as late into the season as possible and I'm wondering what everyone recommends. I'm looking for:

-WARMTH
-flexability
-good value

Don't know too much about these suits so any info is appreciated.

only down fall to a dry suit is how tight the neck arm and wrist holes are. but then again they have to be. And TRUST ME, if one of those seals breaks the rest of your day is ruined. I'm stick with a wetsuit....JP to be exact

i rode at the begining of the season when it was may 24, and like it wasnt too much fun like my toes cramped and it was hard to breathe, it was fun for like 2 mins tho lol

oniell mutant 4/5 pull over. Just purchased it and by far the best and warmest i ever had. And i will be riding till snow is sticking

methodmikey, testing my winch this spring I went riding when half the pond was still frozen so I'm guess around 0 celcius. I had just got the winch tegether and just picked up my new wakeskate so i had to try it.

Either go for an Oneill Pyscho 2 or a Billabong Solution Gold, they're both amazingly flexible suits, with both of them it wont feel like your in a 5/3

O'neill Psycho is really comfortable for a wetsuit.

drysuits are rad as hell... they arent THAT comfortable, but dammit they are warm.

i picked up a 25 $ LF spring suit 2 years ago from steepandcheap.com and its pretty nice, deff keeps me warm and for 25 bux... SO worth it.

methodmikey, after being away at school all winter, not getting out snowboarding once, taking alot of time and money to build a winch, annnndddd getting a brand new wakeskate.... I had to try it. I never got wet below the knees the first day and it was fun just popping some ollies and 180s after not riding for 7 months.

So heres the verdict...

-Oneill Psycho
-Billabong Solution Gold
-oniell mutant 4/5

Any other recommendations? And where is the cheapest place to get em?
