I am looking for a better way to keep my kid warm down to about 50 degrees for Midwest spring and fall diving. Looking for something relatively inexpensive as he grows, but obviously a wetsuit is not something to buy to grow into if you actually need to stay warm. Anyway, looking at some less expensive semi-dry options, or possibly Farmer Johns. Neosport appears to have to two Farmer John lines -- the "Waterman" (very inexpensive) and then one made with "premium"" (?) neoprene. From what I can see, the stitching seems to be the difference, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these.
If we wind up in the Great Lakes down the road and stick with the cold water stuff, I know drysuit training is in the future eventually -- but not quite yet. (Aside from the cost, I seem to see a lot of people messing with seals and inflator valves, etc. before dives.)
