Happy New year to all-
I've decided to give myself a "gift" of my first wetsuit this year. (I'm not sure if this will be a gift or I'm pointing a gun at my head)

So, I need recommendations; keep in mind, I'm an old guy(50's) but in pretty good shape (work construction) a good swimmer but I don't swim much. I'd like to say I'll use it 150 times this year, but 20-40 will be more like it. I think I'd like padded knees and I do fish into late November.
What am I looking for in terms of mm, do I want 1 or 2pc , what kind of boots? I've looked around a little, guess I'm looking at $200 or so for the suit?
So, what advice to the noob in this new adventure?
