so i read their info and have a few questions: how can this suit slide on as easily as a nylon lined suit? my freedive spearfishing buddy has a "nice" rubber lined suit - he hates it - complains that it is too difficult to get on and off; he doesn't use any soap spray - just yank and pull; is a lubricant used with the oceanliner? i have only used nylon lined suits so i have no basis for comparison; is aquaflite/oceanlner suit as comfortable when "on" as a nylon lined suit? how is the flexibility compared to other higher quality nylon lined suits? my wife and i are about to buy new (and hopefully our last) full-sized 3mm wetsuits (we are warm water divers but have a polyolefin jumpsuit we can slide on under if the water is a little cooler); prices for the aquaflite custom suits look great; initially we were considering the various "hyper/elasta" stretch materials from other brands (henderson/bare/scubapro/etc.) but read a lot about the sagging and getting a bit baggy, letting more water in, etc. so here we are - looking for help (my wife tends to be a bit on the cooler side but doesn't want (or need a 5mm suit);
thanks
 
yami I am currently using an Aquaflite 7mm custom semi dry suit w/ the oceanliner in Norcal waters. I have had it for about 4 yrs now with no problems other than average wear and tear. The smooth interior is a little harder to put on so I use a 1 - 3 ratio of baby shampoo to water in a spray bottle. It really helps sliding into the suit a heck of a lot easier. It also makes the suit smell so much better after the dive :eyebrow:. Also the nice thing about a smooth inside is that it drys out fast after a dive. My suit was custom fit so it fit great & so far I have no big complaints. I would not hesitate on recommending suits from Aquaflite.
