So what do you guys think about the 3mm wetsuit in Hawaii? I don't mind getting another wetsuit but a 7mm would likely be too much, right? I do not get cold at all in the pool but the water is definitely warm.
Different people have different cold tolerances. I am probably somewhere in the middle. For me, a 3mm suit is not enough by itself in Hawaii, and a 7mm wold be too much. A 5 mm would be more to my liking, and that is what I would take if I were heading there today.
When I was there last, I wore a 3mm suit with a 3mm vest for the first few days I was there, and I was feeling just a tad on the nippy side. Then one day I realized I had left the vest at the condo, but I did have a 5mm hood. I found the 3mm suit with the hood was actually warmer than the 3mm suit with the 3mm vest. I was just fine with it.
