Hi,

Who has first hand experience with a suit (wet / semi wet) made out of Robatex G-231N nitrogen blown neoprene ???

I am particulary interested in how stiff or flexible it is and if it indeed is warmer at depth like the mfg claims it to be.

Looking forward to hear from your exprerience:blinking:

I've never worn one but worked in a shop where we sold suits made from it. It is the toughest "neoprene" out there, but tends to be very stiff. It's more dense than Neoprene which may be why the company claims it's warmer. Most of the commercial divers up here have their suits made from it.
 
Thanks Neil,

You think one can still slip into a 1/4 inch jacked without a zipper (the freediver style)?
