5mm free dive suit by Spora-Sub. Will be purchasing an X-Cel 5-4-3surf suit shortly as I am slowly becoming too fat for my current suit.

For footwear, I used wading boots with korkers for a long time. Last year I switched over to the Korker Torrents. MUCH better for swimming than boots & korkers. I can swim almost as well with these on as I can bare footed. Between the boots and my skin i wear 2mm neoprene dive socks.

A dry top is in no way necessary and can actually be detrimental at times. While it is nice on a cool windy night if all you are doing is deep wading, swimming with one on can be dangerous. The first time you try to climb up on a rock after swimming a few hundred feet and your arms are full of water you will curse yourself out for wearing the top. I now only wear the top if i will not be swimming anywhere.
