northerngal, Wetsuits aren't so stiff and hard to get in and out of any more. Each year they get more flexible as materials improve. I've been through several, using them when diving was still macho and you weren't if you wore a wetsuit. I use them diving an snorkeling. Besides keeping you warm and keeping you from getting burnt, they protect you from jellies.

I haven't tried one in St. John (I probably will get one as I get cold easily) but in Hawaii we were given some zipup wetsuit vests. Just a vest made a huge difference and I think it would be perfect for those of us who might not want a wetsuit.

Agree, rash guards are great for sun protection but not helpful for cold water.
