Custom Wetsuit Manufacturer Recommendations or Warnings

[VCoz]

I am looking to have a custom wetsuit for tropical diving made. Probably a 2 or 3 mm fullsuit. I've looked at wetwear.com; wetsuitwarehouse.com; liquidfit.com and seadreamswetsuits.com. I would appreciate any comments you might have regarding your experiences with any of these manufacturers. Thanks for any suggestions/advice.

I have had a custom 7mm freedive and a 3mm Scuba suit made by Spiros at Oceanos Wetsuits in Greece. He will do a lot more than what is shown on the Web side, just e-mail and tell him what you want. Aquaflite also make a good custom suit.

I use a wet wear and love it. Fits like a glove. Id recommend wetwear over others.

I recommend WetWear also. But use the search function to find comments on all those manufacturers.

don't know about custom, but I'm a huge fan of Henderson and own 2, one 5mil aqua lock and an 8 mil thremoprene. Henderson has a tailor fit program to fine tune fit a suit base on an existing model and size. and might be an option to look at.

I have to wondering about a custom 2/3mil as that should be a fairly easy fit of the rack based on the stretch of the lighter suit.

hope this helps.

Another vote for Wetwear! Will never buy another brand of wetsuit.

My wife and I got custom 7mm suits from Aquaflite and had to send almost everything plus hood back to them because they weren't cut properly. Her full suit still has wrinkles around the thigh area from not being cut properly, but she's ok with it otherwise I would've sent it back a second and probably a third time. Her hood still doesn't fit well (creates an air pocket on the crown). I guess the price point was right but if I had a do-over I'd go with another custom suit shop.

Thank you all for your helpful advice and comments.

Another vote for Wetwear. My wife had a custom 3 mm suit measured by them at the Long Beach Dive show. When it arrived the resulting fit was slightly off. I shot some pictures of her in it and messaged them back to the shop. They immediately identified the issues including one that my wife hadn't caught. We shipped it back and they promptly fixed everything. My wife ended up with a superbly fitting suit. Only problem is, now I'm jealous.

i checked wetwear.com, not a lot of photos with design and cuts

can you guys post some photo of your custom made wetsuit ?
