Heavy-duty skin

[peterbj7]

I have a skin made by "Diveskins" which I love and find perfectly adequate for year-round diving here in Belize. It is now aging and I want to replace it, but so far have failed to trace an equivalent. "Diveskins" themselves seem to be out of business, as their website is now for sale. Can anyone help or advise?

The suit has a very thin nylon outer shell, with a lining made of fleece. The problem is that the shell is really too thin, and has weakened so it has rips in it. An ideal replacement would be the same design but with a heavier-duty shell. But so far I've been unable to find any sort of replacement.

One millimetre neoprene with shoulder and knee pads.

Have you checked out Drysuit Undersuits - Diving Wetsuits - Dive Clothing : Fourth Element? I've never seen/used their products but it sounds similar to what you're describing.

Thanks, I'll check them. I don't want neoprene. I have neoprene suits of various thicknesses, but find the "furry skin" far more comfortable, especially back on the boat after the dive.
