Summer reef water here is often in the high 70s and low 80s °F, and the springs stay around 68°F, so we put you in a different thickness for each of those.
A 3mm suit, or a 3/2mm women's suit, is the warm-water kit. The men's Velocity Ultra 2.0 and the women's Nixie Ultra 2.0 are those suits. The Reactive also comes in 5mm, and that is the one we hand you for a 68°F spring. Bare builds these from limestone neoprene. Come in and zip it, because a suit that gaps at the neck flushes.
