Most wetsuits are not made for all conditions, and it's typical for riders to have more than one. There are a few factors to this, but the biggest one is where you're riding and the typical water/air temperatures. In the Summer in North America, you might find your area requires a 3/2mm; or, if you're pushing further into the Fall, you might need a 5/4mm.
