Hello everyone. I have decided to make an Elios suit, but not sure what thickness to make.
You see, I get cold quite easy. If I'm doing some light swimming, I'll get cold in about an hour. If I'm just hanging around in the pool, the times can be drastically reduced, to maybe 15 or 20 mins.
What thickness do you guys suggest? I want to make a smoothskin/opencell suit, which I've heard is very warm and comfortable. Would a 3 mm suffice, or should I get a 5? I'll be using this suit for training and maybe some competitions in the near future.
Also, is a 5 mm less maneuverable than a 3 mm? Is it harder to stretch one's hands over his head for streamlining? Is it a lot more bouyant?
