Anyone have a 6/5/4 in good shape that they want to sell? I need a large or possibly an extra-large. NH or Maine location would be ideal.

hmmm... good question. depends on the condition, but i suppose if it were in excellent condition i'd be willing to spend close to $200. but obviously i'd like to spend as little as possible. what i'm really looking for is something that will keep me warm in the maine water this winter.
thanks

if you can spend the 200 just buck up w/300 and get a new good fitting xcel
worth the money

I have an O'neil heat hooded suit (5/3) that I am trying to sell. It is size xl and has only been used about a dozen of times. I have used it in the coldest of weather and it keeps you toasty. Pm me if you are interested.

I was out on my 4/3 all winter. I wore an insulator and a rashguard underneath as well as booties, mittens and gloves obviously. It wasn't bad, liek I could stay out for over 2 hours and not feel cold at all. Only thing that sucked was duck diving too often or getting caught on the inside. Butmy body temperature is much higher than everyone else's I think.
But anyway if anyone is selling a 5/4 in sizes M or LS (large short) let me know, I'd be interested in getting one. Thanks

can you get by with 3mm booties and gloves, or do you need to up them to 5-7mm so your toes and fingers dont go blue on you?

Dead of winter, I need 7mm boots and 5mm mitts. 1 to 2mm neoprene socks under the boots for the real, real cold days. Anything less tends to just cut my water time down.

i wear 7 mil booties and gloves and they are just fine but then again I onyl surfed RI last winter... like i was saying earlier what i always find to be the worst is the water getting to my head, and getting water trapped in between my head and the hood, that always sucks.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the 4/3 in deep winter.
