What are you going to use it for? Diving, surfing, kite boarding, fetish wear?

I am going to assume diving .... if so, where? Ocean, lake or spring?

All of these are important to determine the style, construction and thickness of the wet suit. For instance, wet suits for surfing are cut and constructed in a completely different way than one for diving.

As an overall general rule ..... modern wet suit technology has VASTLY improved during the last decade or so. They are not only warmer, they are much more flexible (combination of rubber technology and construction). Which means greater user comfort and useability.
