Answer 1

Absolutely! You can buy shorties or two piece or long johns..You can buy all suits in various thickness of neoprene.  Wet suits are your protection against hypothermia the 'cold disease'.  Cold water is enervating! Wet suits often serve as a shield against scrapes and bangs. Talk with other players...ask their advice. Get a good fit. Don't neglect a cap...

Answer 2

You should buy the wetsuit to keep warm. Expect to pay closer to 300.00 for a new full suit with welded seams. If you take good care of it, it'll last ten years or more. Great investment. Check out this link about wetsuits:
