I have used a Wetwear 3mm suit for a few years now. All I can say is that the suit does not compress as much as the old rentals I was using so they stayed warm even at depth. The EZ-on zippers makes getting in and out of them simple and comfortable. They do seem more buoyant at the surface though but I have been really pleased with it. Excellent quality suit.
noI heard that the "stiffness" of the suit makes it last long but restricts movement so you can not reach behind you are turn off the valves because rubatex is card-board like material. While it gives a long life to the suit, wearing it and performing acrobatics in it is not the most pleasurable experience. True?
I had a custom wetsuit made by them with the "quality" neoprene and it's the coldest suit I've owned. Don't get fooled by the pitch.which is what you get when you want quality neoprene......
I fell for this pitch as well and ended up with a wetsuit I can only use in the warmest months here in S Calif.
Is that due to the material or the fit of the suit?I fell for this pitch as well and ended up with a wetsuit I can only use in the warmest months here in S Calif.
