I second the vote for NRS. I lived in Moscow, ID for several months, and hit their sale corner religiously! They have great service, and a good selection. I'm not a huge fan of Hydroskin. For the money, I'd rather have fuzzy rubber (like Wyoming Wear). The neoprene insulation in the Hydroskin isn't all that thick, and when wet, the nylon face causes quick evaporative cooling. I like my 3mm NRS Farmer Bill, though. It's a former rental suit--size color coded red.* And lest some of my buddies tell you otherwise, it's a faded red. IT'S NOT PINK, DANGIT!! It's not PINK! It's not pink.... *Red is actually the color code for a medium suit...I'm way too tall for that suit, but I added 6" of length to the legs...NRS even gave me the scraps of neoprene to do it. I've grown a little in girth, though, so it's a tad tight....but long enough. XXL is the right length for me, L is the right girth. *sigh*. <<Really love my extended-length Kokatat GTX drysuit!!>> I'll probably order a new XL Farmer John this winter.
