yeah wet suits are great mate, i fished 90% of the season with one. the only problem's i found is after 20 hours in 1 a rash strats to develop and its ####en sore!!! 1 other thing is after a while the cold wet suit starts to chill. i wouldnt recommend being in one for a long duration but like bruse said they a very safe unlike waders! . the thermal idea works a treat!
