I'm seriously considering buying a new Poseidon Unisuit. I've got an old one and it worked very well until zipper broke. I was wondering if anyone out there has used a new Unisuit and what you think of it. Thanks

It's hard to beat a Unisuit for warmth (have 2 older ones myself).
The buoyancy change from suit compression is considerably less that a farmer john, tho it is easy to get spoiled using a shell suit.
Poseidon is making a couple of suits now with 5mm compressed, so the critter will be much more "mild mannered" than a full 6.5mm.
Just be sure to get it cut a tad larger so you can add an extra layer of undies if needed.
I always liked the "double cuff" thing on the newer Unisuits & have had that feature copied on other suits I've had made.
Had you been taking proper care of your zipper, BTW? Normally the suit is worn to tatters before the zippers puke.

OP
Thanks for the reply. I bought the suit used so zipper was already in so-so condition. I'm going to get it replaced so I have a back up suit as soon as I can find someone who fixes them. Its the clam-style, zip from back to front and I've been having trouble finding someone to repair it. Any suggestions?

Same design as the space suits.
Lemmie see what a new zipper will run, & then I'll get a price for installation too.

Getting just a diaphragm for the exhaust might wind up to be a bit of a project; how about a new or used valve?
