Tried out the Mysterioso (sleeves and shorts, socks under booties) yesterday in 52F water for about 3.5 hrs under a 3/2- I'm impressed. Seems like it keeps the suit from grabbing anywhere, and the warmth factor is impressive. Actually easier to get the suit on, as it slides over the rashie better than your skin. Not to mention you can change without a towel, walk around and dry off in a few minutes after surf, throw on some trunks and drive home in it. I'll probably downgrade the suit I'm planning to buy for colder water to a 5/4 at most. Thanks for the tip- ScottMac, SFK, Ken -great stuff.

For what it's worth I swear by the O'Neill Psycho 2 in a 4/3. Fit shouldn't be a problem as O'Neill makes wetsuits in just about every size you can think of. It is the only double fluid seamed suit I know of.
