What are some good brands of full wetsuits? I don;t want to pay a ton because I will only use it in the spring and fall. Thanks.

A great full suit is a Hendersen Polartech. Made with gortex and some other fancy material. Inside is fleace. Dries out in a few minutes when you are done. Very easy to pack and store

it depends on the temp of the water. For scuba on west coast i use a parkway 7mm semi dry suit. Free diving I use seaqwest 7.6.5 which is thinner materials in shouldersand knees. Surfing i use a hotline 4mm its good all around suit flexible and warm. Given the water temp here is 50- 60 degrees. spring time wakeboarding i use a 2.5mm parkway , nice and thin and still takes the edge off. hope it helps

Ocean Tec - one of the last American made wetsuits out there. Limited lifetime warranty and reasonably price.
