we dive pretty cold water here in MO. Not as cold as yours, but i would venture to say our exposure times may be 3-4 times yours, too. argon, 400g, and expedition weight capaliene, make it survivable, but you freeze your ass off with any suit (short of a habitat or other commercial type procedure, i.e. hot water stuff). George mentioned some time ago (and I put it off) the importance of a good hood. i finally got one and i do notice a difference. Water temp was 50F for 2 1/2 hours, but i didn't get cold. We run as much as double that, so I am hoping the same for those dives.
