Default Wet or dry suit, or just skin?

Per Bill Tuthill:
For people like me without much brainpower, could you post a link
to a picture of the Full Neo Dry? Web search came up mostly empty.
It sounds like what some call a "Steamer" suit, which is basically
a full wetsuit with waterproof zipper.


You've pretty much got it.


Full Neo Dry:

visible)


Bag Top/Neo Bottom:

at the expense of durability/bulletproofness

http://tinyurl.com/2bpnoj This one may use a different seal material. Dunno for
sure, but I've *seen* bag top/neo bottom suits with neoprene seals. The
tradeoff is bulletproffness vs comfort/dryness. What I hear, though, is that
neo neck seals don't last forever - bco the stretching - but my guess is that
they won't tear open suddenly as latex will.
