Thomas, fair enough, but if you are always using it in water colder 
than what the C4 is rated at, would you still go with C4?  Inflating 
the suit a little more when in cold water once in a while is one 
thing, but in general I like to keep the suit fairly snug.  I suppose 
I could put on some polar fleece under it.  I've noticed that being 
cold increases my gas consumption dramatically.

BTW, please don't flame.  I'm not trying to argue here, just pointing 
out that the water around here is *always* in the 40's, and wondering 
if C4 is still appropriate.
