Just tried out my new suit

Hey guys. I just tried out my new wetsuit in the water for the first time. The ice just came off Lake Superior so I decided to take a swim and try it out. Amazing! I couldn't even feel a temperature difference on my skin until I'd been standing in the water for a couple of minutes. I didn't have neoprene gloves or socks on, so I had to get back out after about 20 minutes when I started to lose feeling in my hands and feet. I was completely warm and totally comfortable everywhere else though, without a drop of water entering the suit. I had forgotten how great these things are. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit more so I can get out there again!

I got a 5mm Sporasub. I really like the green camo pattern on those Pursuits too, though. My two friends who were with me were both wearing Mares Trilastic 8-6-5 one piece suits. I think I stayed just as warm as they were, but I didn't have a zipper to leak. They were getting some water infiltration.
