I'm pretty new to all this. I wonder if anyone can tell me, what is the thickest, neoprene wetsuit available on the market? The thickest I can find is 7mm and I would like one thicker than this. Could anyone tell me where I can find what I'm looking for please?

Cheers

Actually the obvious question to ask is why Jim ?

If it's because of warmth wouldn't you be better off going dry ?

Howdy
The suit isn't for diving. I deal with stage productions and it is for use as a comedy effect costume. If 7mm is as thick as they get then I will have to try an alternative method. Thanks for your help and advice everyone.

You've heard of the 'Dead parrot' sketch, well he's creating the 'Dead actor through heat stroke' sketch.[quote='aquafan' pid='31928' dateline='1226875063']

A cheap duvet from IKEA and a sewing machine would be cheaper.

300 pies would be more fun!

Why ??

Thickness is not the onlt solution .

I dived a 7mm full suit with a 7mm jacket on top ... and 14mm on torso is just darn uncomfortable ... felt like my arms were being held back by bungees.

If 7mm is not enough .. consider going to dry suit.
or 6mm semi-drty with 5mm jacket.

Okay. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and help.
