Im deciding between 3mm bare velocity ultra and 3mm scubapro everflex yulex.
both fit me perfectly ( yulex abit tight but i've been told it would strech out after a few dive)
price wise scubapro $50 more expensive.
Any opionion on which material are warmer and last longer?
 
You must be able to move and inhale fully without tightness, for one or fifty or one hundred dives
 
I have the bare 5mm and they are ok but I much preferred my old waterproof 5mm wetsuit and would choose that over bare any day.
 

This is probably the up to date version.
 
The fit is what will make the difference in the long run. It should be snug but not tight. You want to be able to move and reach in all the normal ranges. Both of those are good suits, as is the Waterproof. I use SP and Bare for wetsuits. The Bare is a much better fit and will be replacing the SP in the next year or so with a Bare. Again, it is all about the fit and comfort. Different body styles tend to lean towards one brand over another. So, which brand is snug all over and not tight anywhere?
 
both fit me perfectly ( yulex abit tight
That ain't perfect, then. 😉 A 3mm should go on & off VERY easily. IME, wetsuits tend to tighten over time unless used extremely often. Of your two choices, the Bare sounds like the better choice for you.
