i have heard that the 'skin-in' style of wetsuit
is much more effective than a 'plush' style.
however, i currently use a 2 pc farmer jane/jacket
style (14mm in torso) and am happy w/it to a certain
extent--i do get water flushing down my back which
gets downright annoying, to say the least.
however, you may also want to consider purchasing
a 'rubatex' type of wetsuit. if you want more
info, check out http://diverlink.com and go to the
gear section (and hunt down the info on wetsuits).
apparently it is the most effective type of neoprene
at keeping a diver warm. so, you may get away w/a
one pc instead of a two pc (or get extra warmth
w/a two pc).
best wishes.
