A view from WISCONSIN Divers - We dive in water that is 32 degrees F/ 0 C. We can be in the water for 2 to 3 hours. I use a 5mm open cell suit from ELIOS, others I dive with are 5mm from other manufactors( spetton, OMER) we use 3 fingered 5mm gloves, 5mm open cell socks. For a mask- I agree with everyone else- find one that fits. I use a ATOMIC Mask (great vis and very soft) and ICE Fins (which if your spearfishing- Ice fins are the way to go) IMO. Even after we've been in the water for HOURS the only part that gets cold is usually our fingers then our toes - I've yet to have my body get cold.
