My local lake is heated by a power plant and the water is semi-warm in the winter and hot as hell in the summer (bout 95 deg). But its in the dead of winter right now and the H2O is about 65 deg. There are so many wetsuit out there, help me out guyz. Which one or onez are the tops for mid winter-early spring ridding? (don't wanna spend more than $175)

A powerplant? Lake? Don't the fish have two heads and crap? Don't come crying to us if you suddenly have an extra body part...

Get whatever you feel comfertable with. I have ridden a dry suit in 40 degree water and done a naked backflip off a high dive into 45 degree water. It all depends on how tuff you are feeling and how bad you wanna ride. I know as soon as the boat is dewinterized...(for you FL. kids that means all liquid that goes through the moter that would freeze is put back in)..I will be out there in a dry suit unless we go to the power plant lake then I will prob just wear a shorty. And maybe see Blinky<---anybody?
