In either the W-1 or W-2, in a 5mm, are the extremities also 5mm ? or are they tapered down to a 3 or 4 mm at the ankles and wrists?

thank you
 
HI-
Waterproof does not taper it's suits on the extremities. If a suit is designated as a 5mm or 7mm, it will be that thickness throughout. The ankles and wrists are equipped with smooth seals as well to reduce water entry into the suit.
