How many wetsuits are too many wetsuits?

[undefined]

Asking for a friend....

Or, more accurately, my wife and I may have differing opinions on this subject and I'm curious what the prevailing wisdom is on the matter.

One is too many: get a drysuit

I kid, though. I have a drysuit, an 8mm semi-dry wetsuit, and a 3mm full wetsuit. That's enough for me, I haven't felt the need to buy another for a few years.

I've been thinking about getting a drysuit. I want to extend dive season to 12 months out of the year.

One.

Ever since I got my drysuit, I don’t know if I can go back to a wetsuit.

I have two 3mm wetsuits, a 5mm, a 7mm, and several hooded vests. Thinking it's about time to buy another...

For Sale - Whites Fusion drysuit XL

Used fewer than 10 times. Comes with undergarments and rockboots. Great condition, but does require new seals. May pick up local in Arizona or can ship domestic

My 3mm is enough. And if it's too chilly for that, then I use my drysuit. I did my OW training using a 7mm, hated the Michelin Man feeling, and it turned me off from doing any local diving. A couple of decades later, I discovered there was such a thing as a drysuit.

I have:
3 mil full suit
3 mil shorty
5/4 full suit
7mm two piece freediving suit w/ attached hood
7mm one piece back zip
3 mm hooded vest w/ 7 mm hood
1/4” rubatex beavertail top attached hood
7mm South Korean material very dense top w/attached hood - commercial application
1/2” rubatex two piece urchin suit w/attached hood - commercial application.
And a bunch of gloves, booties, and odds and ends, old suits that I cut up to make custom alterations, etc.
My next suit will probably be a @JMJ Wetsuits custom urchin diver commercial suit.

My one and only drysuit went in the trash about 10 years ago.

I don't have all that many wetsuits for myself. I'm pretty easy....

My wife, on the other hand.... I have yet to find the perfect wetsuit for her, and lord knows I've tried.
