| - | Be careful about following recommendations. What is adequate for specific conditions varies greatly from person to person. **Test** it. Also be careful about recommendations concerning wetsuit thicknesses for specific conditions. There is a huge difference in the protection provided by specific neoprene thickness depending on the quality/expense of specific wetsuits - more expensive usually means better seam seals which helps determine rate of leakage and water flow through a wet suit. Good fit makes a tremendous difference. A loose wetsuit will provide nowhere near the water flow reduction that a snug fit does. Wetsuit seams wear out over time. Don't assume you still have the same amount of in-water protection from the cold as when your wetsuit was new. **Test** it. | + | Be careful about following recommendations.
