The thighs and arms seal and keep water out as well without being too tight.

I may purchase the full length suit for colder water earlier next year.

It’s comfortable and keeps you warm in cool water

We took a dunk in the icy cold water and he did great and didn't want to get out.

I bought it to keep me warm in the cold water

The thigh sections are snug except for an odd flare on the bottom of the right thigh- a small section hangs out about an inch letting that nice cold water in

The water has remained unusually cold this year making it extremely difficult to remain in the water for very long

This time I jumped in and the suit completely insulated me from the initial cold water shock.

I bought this just in time for a dive trip to Cozumel and used it in pretty warm water ranging from about 80 Fahrenheit to 82.

I tried it in a home pool (not heated) when the water was simply too cold to swim and this allowed me to swim on colder days without any issues (once you get over the initial shock of course).However, for my use, I think a 2 mm thick wetsuit would be better as I don't intend to use it in ice cold water

Fortunately the water was warm

I had not realized how warm this suit was keeping me until I unzipped it to get a really deep breath and the cold water rushed in.

So now I can enjoy the Water with my husband who thinks the water is brisk

Excellent fit and helps with keeping body heat in colder waters

Keeps you warm on cold water.

I bought this as an inexpensive wetsuit to swim in cooler water

A cold front had come in days before I arrived, and the water was colder than any other time I had been there

Just as I researched, it was snug enough to let in just enough water to create a warm insulation between the suit and my body, without letting water rush in and out

Work well in cold water

This is because you don't want the cold water to seep into the suit

but if I have the opportunity to do a lake swim or even better do some diving or snorkeling in cooler water temps, it will be perfect!

This is one of the best neoprene products out there I’ve been wearing it for the past one week and swimming in the cold waters in the swimming pool in the Ocean

I bought this to wear while doing water aerobics as I am very sensitive to cold water

Hits that sweet spot where water is too warm to make the full suit comfortable but still too cold to fall in with out any other protection.

Did not get to use it yet as the water was unexpectedly too already too hot.

The water was freezing cold (7am in Malibu, CA)

The XL is tight for me to get on, and seals tight against my arms and thighs to prevent cold water from flushing in, so it does the job it's supposed to perfectly, and kept me warm in the water during a recent sea kayaking class in Maine in 65 degree water

I have used chest waders many times in the past, always having to replace them due to leaks, as well as being clumsy to work in and always limiting the depth of water that you can enter
