Seeking advice on Waterproof W2 vs. Bare Elastek (5mm)

[myScubaLogin]

Anyone who has experience with both of these suits? I'm leaning toward Bare b/c it seems to be more stretchy, and is cheaper.
W2 seems like it's not made out of "stretchy" neoprene, but I may be wrong. People still seem to say it's easy to put on/take off.
Thanks everyone.
Cheers.

Closing the thread. I ended up getting Bare.

Hi, I have exactly the same dilemma, I'm veering towards the Bare too. Now you have had this for a few months any thoughts you could share. Are you happy with your choice?

Hi,

I really like my bare. I also think waterproof would be good, however, it did not fit me, and bare fit me perfectly, and was cheaper nd stretchier. Also, since bare is stretchy, i think waterproof may end up being warmer. On bare, it is a bit hard to zip yourself. All tht said, it fits so good, that i love it
Hope that helps.
cheers,
