Hi,

my trusty O'Neill Windskin 4/3 semi-dry has developed a common form of
neoprene terminal disease, and I would like to replace it. It has
served me well as a year-round suit for both bay and ocean, but the
collar is quite tight and it almost feels like it impedes circulation
--- in any case it's always a relief to take it off.

I am thinking of getting the kind with the zipper in the back and the
non-strangling low collar. It's also a 4/3. Does anybody have
experience with both? Is the latter significantly colder?

Thanks ---Luigi
