I will rate the Aquawave job lot suit... 5/4mm black and gray, 50$

Job lot has provided countless anglers the opportunity to try wetsuiting for little money. I have used the suit about 50 nights, including 8 block trips. For the money, the suit is a champion.

Pros: very affordable, warm well into september/early october, fairly durable (a few minor tears here and there that were easily fixed using aquaseal)

Cons: Knee pads are placed too low, and are more like "shin pads"
A bit less stretchy than expensive suits due to cheaper neoprene, but not bad at all
* seams on the back of your knees, so 2 mile + walks will chafe the back of your knees, but just apply some odorless diaper rash creme before, and the problem is solved.


Overall, this suit is unbeatable for the money... 50 bucks! the downside is, when they get a shipment, they sell out FAST. Highly recommended for the angler who is curious about what the wetsuit can offer, but doesn't want to invest a lot of money
