I held out on avoiding the wet suit as long as I could. I did the Columbia River Challenge in 56 degree water without one in the 90's. I was the only swimmer without one, much to the race director's concern. I finally wore one at last years GCBS and liked it. I bought an Xtrerra that has various thicknesses in different places. If only the neck was more comfortable.
