Ok I have been reading the board, talking to people I know, and searching the web. I have been going back and forth between a semi-dry and dry. I think i have decided on dry. Mainly because the water temperature off Virginia Beach didn't get above 52 F at depth in 2003 until Hurricane Isabel came through.
I don't want to spend more than $1000 on the setup (suit, underware, hood) and I think a shell suit is the way to go. I'm tall (6'4") and thin (195 lbs) so that limits the companies that I can get an off the rack suit from. So taking all of this into consideration I have all but decided to go with the Bare Nex-Gen. I can get the entire package for $975 CND ($750 US).
Is this my best bet? I wanted to post to the board to see if anyone had an idea of another manufacturer that I should look at.
thnx
