I bought my wetsuit because of one place I fish. The current is wicked fast. I was out one day in my waders and drytop and needed to get to this specific rock. I could not get to it due to the drag created by the waders in the current. I settled for a closer rock when I slipped off and landed on my butt in a foot and a half of water. The current was actually strong enough to start pushing me along. I jammed my rod between my legs and it stood me up. Right after this two guys in wetsuits walked past me to MY rock and started hitting fish that I couldn't get to in the rip.
After I bought it I realized the opportunities that awaited me elsewhere. The convenience and the safety factor alone is a good reason to get one, even if you are rockhopping in a relatively safe place.
