It was 3/16" (5mm), hooded jacket and pants in fashionable kelp camoflague. The suit is a bit hard to get into, as it has the slick neoprene side in the inside. Once in it, though, it is extremely warm and comfortable. I use diluted hair conditioner in a spray bottle to assist in the process. They do custom orders via www, mail or fax. Be sure to investigate knife pockets, speargun cocking pads, and knee pads, if appropriate. Start looking for an attractive, friendly person to do the measuring! And warm up the tape measure, too. Brrr!
