get yourself a dry suit. 5mm and speshially 7mm suits to rigid.
it's my opinion.
I am scuba diving for 11 years now and never go to wet suit, maybe only 2mm in tropic waters

since you are talking about cold winter months gear...

i've had this one for about 8 years now... last long because I only wear it in the late fall/early winter. it fits like a wetsuit, but is a little looser up top, so you can wear a sweatshirt if you want. It's stays completely dry inside. I love it.

I'd try this one instead:

I have something similar, semi-dry or dry is the chit! Should last to about low 30's...
Be sure to use winter gloves and shoes as well! And do not forget to shield your head (helmet/hood)!!!!

no offense but those are all pretty much junk..spend the extra and get a surf suit (rip curl, oneil, etc) it will last longer and be warmer

I would just get a nice 3/4 and spend any extra money on go fast parts.

Once you get above a 3/4 the wetsuits get really stiff. Get a nice 2/3 and then if you need more get a dry suit.

actually my xcel 5/4/3 is pretty flexy..probally the same as a chepo 3/2..ive never understood the whole drysuit thing..guys surf all over cold climates in wetsuits not drysuits

i have a slippery 3/2 and a quicksilver 3/2 both are very limber and have held up great.
this winter ive wore both and only had a little limit in mobility. its worth it if its cold enough.
