There are several plant-based neoprene alternatives on the market for wetsuits. Scubapro now has their new Everflex Steamers in Yulex. Besides being plant-based and more environmentally friendly than good old neoprene, they claim the Yulex material does not compress underwater. Is there any truth in that claim? Any experience with the material underwater? Any significant differences in flexibility or thermal properties compared to high-end neoprene?
I am looking at the Everflex 5/4 mm steamer for temperate waters (Mediterranean, Red Sea) because of all the other features. But the Yulex story intrigues me too, as a bonus.
