Anyone with experience with White's Catalyst Drysuit?

[DocWong]

Hi,

I have on order a White's Catalyst Drysuit.

Anyone own one or have experience with it?

I'd like to get your feedback. Do all those stretch panels work? While at depth, over 80 feet, can you move around with more range of motion compared to other shell type suits?

Thanks!

My husband and I both dive Catalysts and like them. We haven't had them all that long; we have 12-15 dives in them. The stretch panels do work, but I can't compare the range of motion to other dry suits, as this is my first.
FWIW.

I don't have the catalyst, I bought a Nexus though, and I love it.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

On the Catalysts, do the stretch panels seem to work well at depth with a bit of suit squeeze?

Can you reach back and turn your air valve on or off?

Thanks!
