Recommend a warm semi-drysuit for snorkeling?

[stilldivin]

I dive with a dry suit but sometimes I would just like to snorkel. A NeoSport 7.5mm wet suit with a Lyrica suit and 3mm tropical suit under it is not enough. I'd like to keep the cost to about $300 to $400. Any ideas? I'm 70 so I do get cold easily in 52 degree water. Is this a good choice? I especially like the dry suit zipper.

Can you snorkel in a drysuit?

"Semi-dry" = wetsuit with good seals.

Alternately, I have several "semi-dry" drysuits in my basement he can have cheap.

AquaLung Sol Afx is used by a number of people I know.

Hollis makes one, and I believe Bare does, as well.

$300-400? Not new. Your price range is skewed. Good wetsuits are not cheap.

You might pay that for a used one.

Please take a look at our 7 mm freedive suits. They are extremely warm and are stretchy and comfortable.

Free shipping and it comes a little BELOW the bottom of your budget. Selling direct reduces cost significantly

I dive dry. The wet suit I'm looking for would be for snorkeling.

How big are you? I have an Aqualung SolAFX 8/7 semi dry I am about to throw on the classifieds for cheap. I have no use for it as anything past my 5 mm I now use my drysuit.

Can you snorkel in a drysuit?

No. A dry suit requires an air supply from your tank to control buoyancy.
