    Thinner neoprene will never be as warm as the thicker one. Despite of any marketing slogans.

    True. I own a high end Billabong 3/2 and it is only as warm as a good 3/2, good up to when the water and air is in the low to mid 50s. My old 4/3 is still way warmer.

    But all the companies make about equal quality suits. The best suit is the one that fits your body the best. Look for glued and taped seams and then a good price.
