Mike, I'm diving a 7.5 mm Polar Shield. It's a Semi-Dry hooded one-piece suit, with GlideSkin in the upper body. This suit in really flexible and feels great. The water temp. in this area is about 60 to 56 and I'm very comfortable with this suit and a 4mm skin-in vest. If I was going to dive this suit in your water, I think I would use a 6 or 7mm skin-in vest. If you were comfortable in your Harvey's, you would really love the Xcel. I think that Xcel makes one of the best suits on the market, they use the best material, their seams don't leak, the crotch area is Quadruple glued, blindstitched and taped. The knees and the elbows are Pre-Bent and they articulate great. And there sizes, on their size chart are true. If you want one call Xcel to see who the dealers are in your area (800)637-9235.
Good Luck,
Jim
