WTB Wetsuit

I'm looking to buy a wetsuit since the water is going to start cooling down here in a little. This is what I need in a wetsuit:

Blue/oceanic/reef camo
3mm/3.5mm
Open cell
Farmer John
Good condition.
I am 180lbs 5'10" So an Omer Size 4 or a Spetton size 4 should fit me well.

I would prefer local (Ft Laud) , but let me know what you have! Thanks!

yO Ben I forgot you were looking for a suit lol... I have my old Cressi 3.5mm Competition 2 suit up for grabs if you want it. Its this one:



Its not camo but the suit is well made. It is a size 4 I'm 5ft 11" 182lbs fits nice. Suit is in good condition except that I turned it into highpants rather than farmer john . $200.00 and its yours bro.

Re: WTB Wetsuit

Lol... you guys and your camo. The fish know you're there. They can smell the sunscreen on your skin, they can feel your movement through the pressure changes in the water and and they can hear you flopping around on the surface before you drop down.

I've had that cressi suit for 2 yrs and it's still in good shape... Bought it new at Austin's for $250.

Re: WTB Wetsuit

to each it's own! that's why diff products are made! This is true though, unless you plan on doing aspetto and blending in with a piece of coral for a good period of time. I don't know how ocean commu works but I would assume you blend in with the surface or the blue water surrounding you.

Re: WTB Wetsuit

I've said it a bunch of times. Buy an Oceanos custom fit suit. $265 shipped and takes only a week or two. I'm about to get another one. http://www.oceanoswetsuits.com

Re: WTB Wetsuit

Camo is a joke... but if you believe it, to each his own.....



Fish don't see colors, they see movement. If you're wearing camo and you move... it's meaningless... again movement is the big thing!
