I've talked to several people who dive them and they all liked them. There was one partial exception- a guy who didn't get a good fit on his, but liked the suit itself. I'm thinking of one to replace my "signature" M&B suit, now in retirement.

We have the 7 mm Polar with the Merino wool and now their 3 mm suits. We like them both and would advise getting one.

I got a polar off of Paul (Pgdive) here on the forum. Great fit and a great looking suit. I still have yet to get it wet, but am hoping for this weekend to try it out. I was having to stand out in 40F air temp to don, and I was still toasty. I am waiting to see how well it provides thermal protection wet. The suit is extremely flexible, as I can easily move my knee all the way to my chest. I am also a big guy 5'11 250lb, but I am big in the chest. The XXLS is a perfect fit for someone of my body type. I find I have to have someone help me don/doff the suit. I am hoping to report back this weekend as to how warm it keeps me.

My boyfriend just got the 3 mm and loves it. Warm. He's getting me one for X'mas! 
So here is a update. I bought the 5mm Fusion with the marino wool liner and it was awesome. I dove in the pool in 63 degree water for more than 1 1/2 hours and never got cold once. I had a 5 mil titanium hood, the marino wool lined 6 mil booties from Pinnacle and a 3 mil gloves. Absolutely the warmest suit I have worn to date over 19 years of diving. When i poured the water out of my booties it was steamy hot water.....the Fusions wool lining was hot to the touch when I took it off.....I am very impressed with this suit and recommend it to anyone looking for a new suit.

I dove a 7mm Polar with Integrated Hood over the weekend in 48 degree water and was fine. I came out with steaming water as well. When my girlfriend unzipped me she jumped back and said "Wow your hot..". Warmest Suit I have ever dove with as well. The wool is super comfy too.
