Hey!

I recently broke my 7mm suit after 4 years.
Where we dive it ranges from 12-18 degrees celsius mostly.
I have a Orca Alpha suit for swimming.
Is it possible to use this suit together with a 3mm vest and a 5mm hood and maybe neoprene shorts for about one hour of CWT every day, or is that a bad idea?
 
Hello, Morten-Andre!

William uses such one but he sad :"It's actually a custom-made Orca jacket with hood that I use for teaching and long days in the water"
I'm about to get something like this.
 
Something like that one would eliminate the neck seal/zipper flushing problem, so im gonna look for something similar. I just used a 5mm jacket under a 3mm suit last time i went diving in 8 celcius water without freezing for about 1h.
