Severely restricted stick travel as well and took a half hour to get into! :-)) A full wetsuit would be a better bet. Insulation and floatation built in Oh that poop suit is a full wet suit all right. I'm only glad I'll never have to get into one again :-)) One of my students (years ago) spent a summer in Antarctic Part of his job (research) was counting livestock under the ice. In a 3/8 inch full wetsuit !!!!
