Does anyone know why we can't find beavertail wetsuit jackets anywhere these days other than on vintage scuba gear websites? Wonder why they aren't made anymore.

They are easier for me to get in and out of. I'm old school and always used them in the 70's and 80's. Don't like the step in version as it often unzips as I'm putting it on. Thanks for the referrals above on who sells beavertaisl.I've never heard of a beavertail wetsuit jacket before but a quick google turns up several companies selling them.

Out of curiosity, what does the beavertail do for you?
I love my 5mm MAKO free diving suit. Used it a couple weekends ago because I didn't wan to mess with the drysuit on the second day of dives. High 50s under the thermocline and I was fine. You do have to lube up though with the open cell suits.Wetsuits - Spearfishing Wetsuits - MAKO Spearguns
Please take a look at our suits as well. We have 3, 5 and 7 mm suits for both men and women and children too.
It also allows the versatility of wearing it either with a Farmer John in colder conditions, or just a swimsuit in less-cold conditions when you might want your legs free.Out of curiosity, what does the beavertail do for you?
