 +I recommend the Giant Fish BibTight, which is like a farmer john with a 1mm Vest on top with 3mm Bottom. I use this with the GiantFish 2.0mm Neoprene Thermal Top when it is below 60F or so, and the 1mm top when it is above 60F. //

 +//I also have the GF 3mm pants which are good but for cold water I prefer the bibtights which eliminates the cold blasts to the torso.I will layer up with a cycling vest or when needed the Mocke gust jacket. //

 +//I used to go to my 4-3 full wetsuit below 50F or less (again wave and wet), but this season the giant fish bibtight + giant fish 2mm top + Mocke jacket has been perfect. //

 +//I will go to the 4-3 suit when it gets to 40F or so and in wet conditions.I dress to be as warm as possible for safety and find the giant fish options to provide a fantastic range of being comfortable but not too hot.I am basing this on water temp of 48F, wave, wet conditions, and the wind chill of out and backs, and in a surfski.\\
