Good affordable dive skin or wetsuit brand that's neoprene free?

[44556j]

Hello,

I am looking for a dive skin or wetsuit (1mm) that is in the affordable price range (under $150 but preferably $100 or less) that is neoprene free and environmentally friendly.

Thanks

Isn't a 1mm neofree suit no different than just a surfer's rashguard?
I suppose if you want to you could even dive in a thin fleece which is the inner lining of sharkskin (Sharkskin T2 is at least 3mm in thickness)

Human fat is insulative, so a sustained caloric surplus could result in some resistance to cool water. Reference (1) prefers this method to the greased pig look. The environmental impacts of this method are difficult to calculate, but it seems to work for the seals.

So what I am hearing is that pasta is an insulator. To be fair I was a lot warmer when I was chunkier

Scubapro have Yulex - 3mm seperates and I have some of these i'll be selling soon.

Fourth element and Sharkskin are both good.

You can go for anything made of Yamamoto neoprene - it's all made from limestone.

I love the Isurus suits - made of Yamamoto 39/40 3.2mm and wonderfully warm - actually a semi dry in use. (they have a couple in their outlet Outlet ) I use these diving in warm water. They do up to 7mm and they are pretty toasty.

There's also Mako spearfishing suits these are unlined yamato 45 and you need lube to put them on - very nice quality.

Well, I dive in 61F water in swim trunks. This is a bit extreme, though.
Tolerance for cold will vary between individuals. The skinnier, the colder.
