I Got Mine!!

I scored a Body Glove Vapor 4/3 wetsuit for a little over $200. Can you say "closeout"? Jump on it now if you're looking for a new wetsuit. My current fullsuit, which is a 3/2, died awhile back. I still wear it. Truthfully, I'm too cheap to spend good money on wetsuits. But I couldn't pass up the Body Glove. Sierra Trading Post is a place I check once a week for deals on wetsuits. Now that this winter season is over, the serious deals are there. Jump on them while you can.

In addition to this 4/3, I also scored a 3/2 RipCurl suit from a different source. This is the first time I will go into a winter season with two fullsuits of different strengths. In the past, I didn't think I was worthy. Now, I acknowledge that I'm always cold and it's time for a 4/3. My past experience with a 4/3 suit was not good. The thing was so damn restrictive that I could barely paddle. After that, I swore off suits that thick. I'm finally ready to try another one; it makes no sense for me to always end sessions with my teeth chattering. People told me if I got a good 4/3, I wouldn't experience the paddling problems that plagued me before. There was no way I was going to pay $400 for a 4/3. For me, that's a car payment. But when the price drops to the $200 range, it's stupid not to buy it.
