Isn't that what the emotion+ is?

Isn't that what the emotion+ is?

Sort of.
So, the E.motion+ is an E.motion with beefed up areas for durability and maximum flexibility and lightweight.
The E.lite+ is an E.Lite, extremely durable with lighter weight fabric areas for Flexibility, and maximum durability.
One is more lightweight and flexible, and one is more durable and rugged. Both share similarities, but differences depending on what you need in a suit.

So, Similar, but different. The E.lite+ also has a different cut which helps with overall fit. Not that they ever fit bad, but it fits even better and is more durable with the new patterns.

Which is which again?

elite is supposed to be more durable than emotion.

But the emotion+ and elite+ apparently weigh the same.

Sorry but that to me seems like a marketing mistake.

Emotion+ is flexible and lightweight but stronger and more durable like the Elite.

Elite+ is strong and durable but more flexible and lightweight like the Emotion.

I know scuba is all about redundancy but that just makes me go .

Aren’t they just pretty much the same suit then, the Emotion+ and Elite+? At least that’s how the marketing makes it sound and as a consumer, it’s just confusing.

It also seems to suggest there’s one ideal suit out there: the one that is as flexible and lightweight as Emotion but strong and durable as Elite. So dang why not just make that one suit?

Maybe there are weight specs and price differences that will actually differentiate them???

Nope

Light Weight and Flexible is the E.motion+

Is the new E.lite+ very heavy? What does it compare to in the DUI line?
