Opinions wanted on Aqualung Blizzard Pro 2019

[DivingInBlue]

Hello everyone

I'm in the market for a new drysuit and would like to have a neoprene one.
I have been looking at the aqualung blizzard pro 2019 but I cant find any reviews.
So I was wondering if anyone here has them and how happy or unhappy you are with it?

Best of all.

I don't have any experience with the Blizzard (it isn't available in the US), but I did dive with a very similar suit - a Scubapro Everdry 4 - for a season. It served its purpose but I quickly grew tired of it. For one thing, back-zip is really annoying. At first you think "It's no big deal, since I will always have a buddy with me anyway." Think again. Everyone else is getting geared up or getting out of their kit and you have to interrupt and ask them to give you a hand with the zipper. Need to take a leak between dives? You have to wait while everyone else is doffing their suits with the same thing in mind.

The other reasons I disliked the suit might be specific to the Scubapro, so I won't go into more details. But I will say that I dislike neoprene seals.

On the plus side, compressed neoprene is fairly warm, and it insulates well enough that I didn't get nearly as much condensation in the suit as I do with shell suits.
