Has anyone tried this new product from fourth element designed for trilam drysuit users? Seems quite nice, especially because you can wear the jacket aside from scuba...
Let me know.

OP
bump...
I don't think it's widely available yet, so you probably won't get too much first-hand data. There was a recent video interview done with Fourth Element you can see at Submerge Productions > Action! > Interviews

They are available now I know in the states. I just got prices on them and they said they can order them...maybe they meant preorder...
Im assuming its pre-order. I spoke to fourth element in person at the dive show Saturday and were told they are pre-order and release "in about 10 days". From what i can gather that meant release to anywhere not just the UK.
Im going to pre-order mine tonight as im sick of freezing half to death in my weezle extreme.

I got to dive one of the new 2 piece SubXero undersuits last weekend on a Shipwreck Adventures charter. We did nearly an hour dive in 39 degree water. I was definitely warmer than I was during the identical dive last weekend (I usually layer a DC TPS thinsulate extreme with thin fleece long underwear). The suit seems to be very well made, with some nice details added. There are velcro adjustments on both wrists and ankles with stirrups built into the feet as well and a 2 way zipper in the farmer john pants for easy use of a P-valve. They should be available from Shipwreck Adventures by the end of the week. Sign up for a charter and you may get to demo a suit 
. Mine should be in by Friday!

Now that this has been released for about a month or so, does anyone have any first hand experience they would like to share?
I tend to get cold when I dive, especially on the second dive. I was thinking of going with a SubXero bottom and Arctic top.

Ive done about 15 dives in mine now. Its a lot warmer than my weezle extreme. I can go about 50 mins now without getting chilly as opposed to 20.
One thing though - it does require a LOT of lead to sink. Roughly 4kg more than my old weezle.
