I have an issue with being cold. I had an evo elite 3mil that had me shivering after 30 min in 80 deg water. I started wearing a lava core under it with out much better results. I then tried a 7mil shorty on top of that. And was comfortable but felt like the Michelin man. I since bought a 5mil fourth element proteus 2. It was almost $500 but worth every penny. It’s a pain in the butt to get on and off but super comfortable and warm in the water. It may not be “cheap” but sometimes you get what you pay for.
