I bought this for skiing and i must say with only cotton underwear inside it is almost uncomfortably warm, for me. I am warm natured, so if you tend to be cold this suit is for you. i used it for two week long trips ,about a year apart. it has held up well .The PVC outer is durable and has only sustained one tear . The damage has not gotten worse. It is also very waterproof . Except for sweet you stay dry, and warm ! This garment dose run on the large size. i got a XL and wish i had gotten a L. 6' and 210 lbs.
