I need a new wetsuit and someone suggested Pinnacle Aquatics because of their merino-wool lining. But I can't help to think of all these scratchy wool sweaters I was made to wear as a kid. Would wool in a wetsuit be itchy, scratchy, and make me smell like a wet sheep? I've read good gear reviews of Pinnacle but anyone have personal experience? Also, what about the peeing factor?

I would want to try before buying. Including the pee factor.

If it is the type I have had for many years and you can find one they are great, they are not course as knit, they are textured more as a pile mine was manufactured by O'neill,
they have a dense outer shell, and a thin layer of wool attached to the shell it is equal to about a 5mm in cool water, as the water gets cooler the wool gets tighter and it seems to stay warmer. mine also has thick knee and elbow pads.
In the past 14 years I have around 3 to 4 hundreds dives with it although you would never know by looking at it.
