I think it depends on the quality of the suit. I Bought a good steamer that fitted properly last year and didn't really notice the diff.
Fork out a bit extra and get something good

I just use a knee length tube suit with no arms. I've found that it's fine in QLD during our "so-called Winter". However start driving a couple of hours south of the border and it gets a bit chilly.

yeah the seconds place in nerang is alright aye. but you've gotta catch it at a good time. i was there one day and they had the best wettie's there and i picked up a sick springy but there other day when i was on the market for a new steamer they only had kids suits on womens. sometimes its sick and other times its shit as. at the moment im in a dunes titainium stitched steamer which walks on any wettie ive ever owned befor. it fits perfect and it isent that restrictive. they come in a 1.5 mil or a 3 mil thickness and dont run in at too much. if anyone wants the number just ask because they are the sickets wetties. great guy to deal with aswell. later
