    7mm Women's Wetsuit- which brand is best?

    If you are traveling to the Keys you should stop by and see the ladies at Wetwear. They will be able to make you what you want, in your budget. They will also loan you a suit if needed in the keys while they make you one (they did that for my dive buddy). Don't let the word "custom" make you...

    I guess it did work after all...yeah me! Here are a few more I have of my good friend brad. I know he has also made a few others I don't have pictures of. I know he had them on display at the Florida Dive show. He also has a Ring master suit that was pretty cool!

    wetsuits made to look like spiderman or batman..etc

    I know Wetwear has made a Mr. Incredible suit and a Superman suit. I am not very computer savvy... I tried to put a picture of one on here but I couldn't figure it out. I also saw an Aquaman suit on an Aquaman website that they also made. I have always wanted to get a creative one made by...

    Looking for input on thickness and style of wetsuit for a variety of conditions.

    Reading threw this post I noticed no one mentioned anything about type of material. If you get a suit made out of a super stretchy blended neoprene, than your suit will not provide you with the warmth you are expecting. These suits compress at depth and out stretch their thickness. You can go...

    Best 5mm Wetsuit

    I agree 100% with Interceptor121.... Fit is most important. All my suits are custom made because I believe that no one can fit perfectly into a suit off the rack. Material is next most important because you don't want a suit that compresses at depth. The nitrogen neoprene suits don't...

    What is your warmest 7mm wetsuit?

    I love my Wetwear suit. I have never been warmer in my life! Easiest suit ever to get on and off with the extra long zippers in the arms and legs. I have always gotten cold easily and would avoid diving if the temps were to low, not anymore. I wear my full suit and always bring my 2nd piece...

    Custom or off the rack

    I also have a Wetwear custom wetsuit. They offer all different types of combination to fit different budgets and needs. They usually take about 2-3 weeks but I needed my last suit in a hurry for a trip and they got it to me in two days. I am vey warm in my suit and I am able to get it on and...

    Layering a shorty

    I wear a Wetwear 3mm full suit with a 3 mm shorty on top. Fit is a big reason for why the extra piece should be worn on top. My suits were custom made so that I could wear the 3mm full jumpsuit all year around...so that piece fits me perfectly. Then when I do my colder diving I wear the...

    Neoprene Hood for Full Face Mask/Whats Available

    I think wetwear makes the type of hood you are looking for. It has a seal on the inside and the outside of the hood. They had it on display with a full face mask last time I was in the store. I think it was a short neck hood. They make everything there made to order so I'm sure they can make...

    What is the best wetsuit for the price?

    I guess you can consider it home made....it's made in the USA....LOL! There suits are custom made so no two suits really ever look alike, but I can tell you they are durable and last longer than any other suit I have ever had. I have a sea lice skin, a 3mm jumpsuit with the long zippers and a...

    What is the best wetsuit for the price?

    Hi DANBMW, I have a Wetwear suit with the long zippers and I have no problem with heat loss or water flow. They use a water tight flap thingy that is sewn to both sides of the zipper opening, so you don't get leakage from the zippers. The other great thing about their suits is the...

    Curves and Wetsuits

    Be careful ordering from a company out of the country. If you need a repair or service it will cost a fortune in shipping....that's if they will repair it. I also have a custom suit by Wetwear. They can alter it or repair it when necessary with out a lot of hassle.

    How cold can I get away with a 7mm wetsuit?

    There are so many variables to consider in order to answer that question. One point I did not see mentioned was wetsuit construction. It all depends on what type of suit you are diving. If you have a Rubatex neoprene suit you are going to stay way warmer than a standard wetsuit because of...

    Full suit sizing (if you're short)

    The ankle of the suit needs to fit snug. If you took a measurement of your ankle and then took a measurement a few inches up, you would see that it would be larger. Wetsuits are tapered the same way. I would have to agree with girlgonediving on this one! Get it shortened by a...

    If you are looking for a custom fit suit you should look into Wetwear. You can get a better made suit with Rubatex neoprene, custom made for less money. Plus they are made in the USA so you have a quicker turn around time. You can add all kinds of bells and whistles too because they are...

    3mm or 5mm - which is more versatile fullsuit?

    I believe that the best thing to do is layer your suits. You should always have full body protection at all time. I wear a skin in anything that is about 80 degrees and up. If I am doing multiple dives I would bring a short sleeve shorty for later in the day, just in case. For anything...

    Wetsuit for big guy

    You are a great candidate for a custom wetsuit. Fit is most important in order to keep warm. I have a custom suit made by Wetwear and it fits like a second skin. I dive with many people who also have there suits and a few of them would make you look small. They specialize in making suits for...

    Wetwear joins ScubaBoard

    I am so glad to see wetwear on scuba board! I have a 5 mm Semi dry suit and I love it! the best wetsuit I've ever owned! The arm and leg zippers, and slanted zipper in the back make life sooooo much easier and I don't have to do the little jump and dance to put it on! It is by far the...
