thanks, Bruce. If I was sailing in the warm waters that you are, I'd opt for the smallest possible bucket too! Here in Socal, I usually have on a Spring or full wetsuit. I prefer the extra back support so I am leaning towards the full harness, whatever the brand and model.

In any event, I'm about convinced that I'm going to change out my old gear. It just seems to make sense. I'll post my results when I do that.
