I have a billabong Foil 4/3, its not a bad suit, good to about 50 ish, I would say buy the best wetsuit you can afford. I bought an under liner for mine and it helps on really cold days. the evo.com outlet has good deals and also check out the wetsuit wearhouse.

EBay. I've picked up a few of mine for $20-$30 new.

I have a 3/2 oneil hammer that cost me 110 dollars. With that and booties I am good through october nice and toasty in the same mid west fall weather as you.

I have a 5mil O'Neal that I wear in the ocean that was only like $160. My other suits are jetpilot, which are not cost effective.

look up on there how to maintain and repair old suits. I bet you can still use your dad's old ones fine. Though I'd imagine the technology is better today. But hey If it keeps you warm then...:dunno:

ewwww i would never buy and wear a used wetsuit, its like knowingly sharing your girl with a total stranger. also dont buy a dry suit unless your looking for the titanic. whiskeymilitia is good but seshday.com is better, there is also chainlove.com, steepandcheap.com, woot.com, departmentofgoods.com

its still cold but better than nothing

It not like he bought a used pack of condoms on craigslist. Hell he didn't buy a used wetsuit but has access to his dads old one. If it leaks try to fix it if you can. If it's impossible to do that you can buy one that will let you ride 9 months a year for less than 200 bucks man including gloves, hood, and booties.

If you are too cold after dropping that on gear then just ride harder without falling....lol.

i just got a quicksilver 3/2 full suit and booties all new from sesh for 150 total. annnnd its nasty to share a wetsuit EVERYONE pisses in their suit multiple times especially if you surf in it. its how you stay warm...so yes its ok to swim in your own piss but i draw the line at swimming in someone elses

Eh I agree except its his dad's old suit. He came out of the same place he pissed from. :mischievous: Modern soap technology is excellent!
