is this a good wet suit for wind surfing in the winter?

I would think not, I use it for river rafting, but then I'm not in the water all the time. I think a thicker suit would be better for your described use. Of course that depends on where you are. On the Columbia River near Hood river, you might freeze?

This is a pretty expensive suit to be running around on dinghies. Though it is strudy (not fragile), I could see you catching it on sharp items. You could probably buy 50 - 100 throw away rain suits for the price of this drysuit. Otherwise, the drysuit should do the job. I'd just be nervous catching it on something. Good luck.

I use it for playing disc golf in heavy rain. It's a real waterproof rain suit, not a lightweight water resistant type suit.

I got it to wear kayaking in colder Southern California weather. I don't think that it is meant to wear IN water.

This is meant to be worn instead of a wet suit. I bought it to wear in tropical climate to avoid rash/burn from board in the ocean.

The suit is not a wetsuit but a lycra suit to protect you from jelly fish stings etc. so won't keep you warm

No, it is very thin and would be perfect. If you are wearing it as a T-shirt, then follow the recommendation of many reviewers and order it 2 sizes too big and you will get a snug-looking fit without the snug-feeling. If you want to wear it in the surf -- strong ocean waves -- then follow the manufacturer's size chart and order your correct size for a very tight compression fit.

It might be good for skiing but I think this alone might not protect you from extreme cold. It is good for California weather as it's not that cold here in winter.

It is not breathable. I don't know if I ever heard of a breathable dry suit. Did not find it uncomfortable, but it has been pretty cold air temp when I wore it (sailed small boat Thanksgiving day, 26 degrees.

you could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

Not a "dry suit". You will get soaked. It just prevents rockrash and maybe keeps your core temp a little higher in cold water

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

I purchased the Frabill (gray) suit. It is quite warm until the rain eventually soaks through.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

This is NOT a wet suit (or dry suit) jacket. When you first hit the water it makes you maybe a bit colder for a few seconds, but then helps you be warmer. What it does best is keeps your shoulders from being cold. I use it for Water Aerobics, where we are in 10' of 78-84 degree pool water with flotation belts (remember, ocean water feels warmer at lower temps than does fresh water). We are upright with our shoulders out of the water. Will it keep you warm in water below 76 or so? NO.
