You shouldn't need one tbh Brisbane is always well above 20 degree water temp. I say just adapt to your local area.

dont they wear that pantyhose stuff in qld to keep the blueys off?
I got a 3/2 full wetsuit off torpedo 7, I think its great! I use it from now till about end of September, thats if there's any wind! It keeps me warm on the coldest winter days here in Brisbane and I would recommend it over just getting a spring suit.

On sale at the moment for $50, you cant lose.
Those wettys look good how is the sizing what did u get and your size height n weight etc thinkin about ordering 1
be quick I bought a L although the XL I wanted disappeared when I was checking out. if it doesn't fit you can send it back. thanks for the tip pezzy, cannot have too many wetties.
How does it rate that wetty? Probably not the warmest I'm guessing for Sydney winter waters.
I got a medium because Im about 74kgs and 176cm tall.
It fits me pretty well, slightly tight to get on over my arse and shoulders but that's just because I have a big arse (so I have been told by my girlfriend) and Im pretty wide across the shoulders. I would be inclined to say their sizing chart is slightly on the small side I.e a medium is for 170 – 184cm according to their size chart but I couldn't imagine anyone much taller than me getting into a medium.
Its certainly well made as I have had mine for a year and haven't had any problems with it.
I hope this helps.
Brought an xl last night blue and black hopefully doesnt take too long for delivery and hopefully it fits
I wear a 3/2mm “Long John” (full length leg + sleeveless), plenty for SEQ and no sleeves makes it easy to get in and out with no zips. But their sizes are not what you would think. wetsuitwarehouse.com.au/products/adrenalin-3-2mm-long-john-surfing-wetsuit-mens

if that's you in the avatar, I wouldn't hold out too much hope :P
if its too big will swap you for my L black/black.
Only sizes left are Small and XXL, damn missed out ! The reviews about sizing of the arms didn't give me much assurance anyway.
hey thats not me in the avatar im 6 foot tall and 88kgs i have an large ripcurl wetty that is a bit small so hopefully it fits me well i want to put some holes in the legs to stop the cancules
Yes I thought I may get answers like your's. I am actually from a lot further up like about 20 degree south. But we still get 5 degree starts and over cast. And if I want to kite all day I need a wetsuit.
Hey Pezzi,cheers man,thanks for the heads up on the Torpedo wettys.Hopefully XXL for my 96kgs 6'3" will do the trick.Got a woman's medium for my wife for extra points.Will see how we go.They look and sound the goods.
No Problem Torpedo is a great site definitely worth checking regularly for when they have a sale ( which is frequently). Enjoy 
try the 'Need Essentials' wetsuits.
Great price great service and good quality wetsuit.
Im from south west WA andt the 3/2 has been working a treat in the cooler conditions. sizing as sated on website
For Sydney winter, I'm looking at the Mystic Star 3/2 from an UK website. Mystic wetsuits are specifically designed for kitesurfing, does anyone have experience with those wettys ? I hope the sizing chart is accurate as it's always risky ordering one without trying it first.
I have one of these www.iksurfmag.com/issue33/?page=143
Use in Mackay from now until September
Good product
Medium @ 72kgs 176cms so the sizing chart is pretty spot on
Have a look at your local Good Sammy's store or whatever equivalent in your area, they usually have a few wettys. I picked up a nice 3/4 for $16 last year and a nice new 3/4 for my son last week for $12.
