well being a fat guy i float pretty well anyway.
but the thicker the suit the more float it has, and also the better the seal and fit the more buoyancy its going to add.
In the 3mm your legs will natural float up, it adds a lot of float but the 5mm or 7mm has a lot more overall. youll float like a cork in a 5 or 7mm.
Ive always felt that it would hard to drown in a 3mm wetsuit unless you were knocked out or got caught in some rope or something. Really helps when your bobbing around to distance rocksto have that extra float makes climbing and getting up the rocks that much easier.
