Thats odd - here the drysuits are not more expensive than the warm wetsuits !karls wrote:Hi,
I know this thread has come so many times but the winter is coming back so here it go.
I need to know what is the best wetsuit for freezing cold weather (0 degrees or less).
I had a drysuits for years and I love them but they are very expensive and I always break their super expensive zips, so I am just looking for wetsuits.
My strongest option is Neilpryde elite II or 5000 due at their windproof material (it’s a windsurfing wetsuit) but is there any other wetsuit to take into consideration (for freezing conditions).
Thanks in advance! good winds!!!
npx zealot 6/4 got some nice reviews here, but I haven't tried it. Did you break a drysuit with a plastic zipper ? I know that Ocean Rodeo has better zippers, but those are more expensive unfortunately. Anyway zealot costs pretty much the same as mystic force drysuit..karls wrote:Hi,

The 5000 is very warm too, but since there are such good deals on Elite II suits right now, you can probably find one close to the price you'd normally pay for the 5000.karls wrote:hi,
thaks for you answer. I know the elite is the better one, what about the 5000??? will be fine with it in those freezy conditions combine with a 3mm woody top?
I second this, had an original Elite and when it wore out I got the 2009 model, put my thumb through it (lower calf) first time taking it off , brought it back to the shop and explained exactly how it happened.JoshNoe wrote:Hey Karls. The Neilpryde Elite II is pricey, but in my opinion, it's the warmest wetsuit available for wind sports on the market. The entire suit is made of Japanese S5 Limestone neoprene which is warmer and more windproof than any neoprene on the market, and VERY stretchy. It also has Zirconium hollow fiber insulation on the inside of the chest, back, and legs down to your knees. This stuff traps heat and releases it slowly back into your body. You can even leave it inside-out in the sun before your session and it'll absorb the heat and then release it into your body while you're riding!
Call your local shop. Even if they don't have them in stock, they can special order one for you. There are some 2009s on closeout right now.
