What's been folks' experiences with dry and wet suits?

This a a tricky question. having experience with both I would say that it depends on if you intend to get into the water or if it will be accidental.

A wet suit can be very uncomfortable out of water for long periods. You will sweat and stink. However if in the water they are more suitable for swimming in. The dry is a warmer suit and you can live in one for many hours without a problem, you will also be much more protected for long periods but is not good for swimming in.

Personally if this is for sailing and to protect you from the occasional dunk, I would go with the dry.

 

All very valid points lads, but remember - never EVER fart in a wet suit

A prime example of 'global' warming....

 

farting maybe ,--it will be of no cosiquence, unless you are smoking.

But pissing ahhhhhh boy you gotta try that. It is lovelly and warm and very naughty wich makes it more fun. The problem is is wich side do you dress. You have to wriggle about a bit to get even amounts down each leg or you will get one cold and one warm leg.

This is all very well but there is a price to pay,--- when you remove your suit you smell like a public Bangladesh toilet on a hot day.

It tends to linger too so lots of after shave might --just might overcome it or you will be down the pub smelling like a Greek jock strap.
