I've been sailing for my whole life, but just switched to racing our laser last fall. Since laser sailing is much wetter than most boats, my old foul weather gear strategies aren't much of a help! I'm thinking about getting a wetsuit, but don't know what type would really be best. I'm thinking that one of those "Farmer John" (sleeveless, with long legs... sorta like overalls) style wetsuits sounds like what I'd wear. This style sounds right because I dislike the knee length legs and elbow length sleeves, even though they seem to be one of the most common styles. I think that long-legged pants and long sleeves would be more than what I would need, and I would overheat. So this is what has had me thinking about the "Farmer Johns".
Am I making a good decision? If anyone has any info supporting or discouraging this decision, I'd like to know!
What about the weight of the material? I know nothing about that either!
