I have worn a 5mm Picasso and 3mm Elios with vests over top for better core warmth.
The 3mm custom suit was as warm as the standard 5mm suit.
One of the tricks with high waist pants that are opencell-in and nylon-out is this: pull the pants up, then turn down about 10 cm of the pant at the top. This will seal against the top of the suit, helping to prevent water getting in. My suit never lets water in, ever.
By the way, I have a new Elios 7mm custom suit on the way for this season, just to extend time in the water and do some relatively deeper aspeeto, as we have brutal thermoclines in our lakes up here. I also wear dry gloves all season.
Be sure and tell us about your suit after you've dived it dude.
Peace,
Erik Y.
