I use the nex gen. Never had a problem with it. Got about 80 dives on it and it still looks good. I figured 200 dives with it would be good but I'm sure I'll get good use of it past then. I use the rock boots with it too.
For the price you can't go wrong

I will have my Nex-Gen.
A good friend of mine (& an instructor, who has an older Bare, neoprene suit) pointed me in that direction. Having tried one on twice now (complete with Rock Boots) I think it is the suit for me. Plus about half the divers I buddy up with have this suit (including a couple instructors) & only one has had an issue with it (a leak - in the crotch- which was repaired).

and put about 30 dives on it over the winter months last year.

I like it. Its basic, but it works.

I did a fun dive tonight & 5 of the 7 of us that went own a Nex-Gen (1 owns an Oceaner dry - i think- & the other dives wet -eww-).
I can't count how many people I know with the Nex-Gen. (Ok, those 5, plus 1, plus 1, plus 1, you get the picture). And only one has had a problem with it (a leak, from day 1, which is currently getting repaired under warranty.

I LOVE the Nex-Gen. My first two dives in it were tonight & it was extremly comfortable. And, as an added bonus, I stayed dry.
