I'm not diving yet, but I will be VA so I hear I will need a 7mm. So far Ive seen 2 that fit my budget.
1) Bare Arctic Full http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_982/Context_980/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/Filter_1%3d471%3a4%3d243/BRESAFM.html?Hit=1
2) or the Pinnacle 7/5 cruiser titanium. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-101/049711/Pinnacle-7-5mm-Cruiser-Titanium-Jumpsuit.html
What are everyone's thoughts on either suit or the sites I would be ordering them from? Both have free shipping, but what if it doesn't fit? Are these good choices or does anybody have other suggestions?
thanks for your help.

The BARE is an excellant line of suits...both wet/dry.

I have that BARE 7mil and find it really well made and comfy as much as a suit can be....I vote BARE.

Pinnacles seem to run a little small. I don't think you could go wrong with either of them but I dive a Bare 5mm and love it. Excellent fit and quality. You should really try to find a LDS that sells both and try them on though..Good Luck:D
 
Sorry double post..Scuba board seems to be a little temperamental these days..
 
I have a BARE Arctic 7mm and I love it. Once I get in the water, aside from the warmth it provides me, I don't even notice I'm wearing it.
 
Bare rocks I own a 3/2 and a 5/4 Velocity...if you buy from LeisurePro they have "pressure free fit" and they will pick it up and send you a different size at no charge.

Cheers.

well so far everyone here says bare and everyone at SB Too has said pinnacle, so I guess I shouldn't worry. I'll probly end up going with bare since I will be able to take advantage of leisurepro's return policy.
thanks for the input guys!
