Anyone who has experience or knowledge about this suit? I'm interested in buying this one but there's not many reviews or things to find about on the internet.
 
The description kind of says it all, supposedly the air core reduces the amount of sweat that is common with dry suits, how well it works I've no idea. Apart from that it looks to be the same as the original Whites Fusiion albeit at a much higher price. Hopefully an actual user will pop in.

I'm interested. Subscribed.
 
About a year or so ago the AL rep gave us a demo on the new aircore and some of the features in the now branded AL fusion suits. So, from the rep and my observations, drycore is a huge improvement, allows suit to breathe and almost totally eliminates overheating, Kevlar skin is about as bulletproof as you can get, redesigned Velcro/zippers et al, make don/doff and skin swaps much more manageable. I suggested that it come with a defibrillator to handle the enevitable heart attack when you see the price. Top of the line suit? Sure......would I buy one? After winning the lottery, definitely. Until then I'll consider the aircore, not so much the Kevlar.
 
2600 ?That's a drop in the bucket to a signature series clx... my rep brought one in too.. nice suits!

Just replace you current core with new...
 
Its a different outer now also, it zips on and off and the old ones used velcro

I've yet to see an aircore by itself for sale, skins certainly. I wish I could just by the core.......when I asked the shop owner he said he'd sell me just the core for the price of a full suit and throw in a free skin.........ha ha.
 
BTW here in The Netherlands/Europe this suit goes for around 1850euro, still a lot of money but already a total different category than 2600$...
