"Sporty" wetsuits...

[chillyinCanada]

Truli suits are fabulous but I don't think they're being produced in full suit yet, still shorties if I'm not mistaken.

we stumbled on this custom wetsuit provider a few months ago but have no experience with them.
Atlan Productions inc.

I had a suit from them 12-14 years ago, they were fine. I'd forgotten about them. But measurement is critical. IIRC there is a long list to take.

I have seen some photographer models use dive skins over wetsuits to provide the flexibility of different patterns without carting around a locker full of wetsuits.

wetwear.com will make it however you like. I bought one for my wife. it's a perfect fit since it's custom made. Not cheap. I think it was $600ish for a wetsuit! Also, don't believe their marketing mumbo jumbo about how their neoprene is better. That might have been true when wetwear started in 1976. Despite being a perfect fit, my wife's 3mm wetwear suit just isn't warm enough for anything but tropical diving in the ocean. Forget 72f springs.

You do get a suit that is exceptionally easy to don/doff even without a skin or baby powder underneath. You also get to specify colors and other design criteria when you have one made. My wife's is black with pink trim, but I bet you could go all pink with purple trim or name your color.

Awesome info everyone... I am comfortable measuring her since I used to do it when I ran a shop, usually with good results. Met a few new girlfriends that way... ;-)

You did say "bright and colorful." I didn't see where it said the thickness.

Other superheros are available. If you want to go with latex they can get pretty kinky.

Hi Stoo!
I am the designer/CEO for Truli Wetsuits. I've just released the newest design the Truli-Capri which always draws a lot of attention on the dive deck and is great for photos because - It's not black!
The wetsuits are 3.5mm in thickness and are lined with fleece to keep your core warm. Some women who are really sensitive to the cold choose to wear a rashguard underneath the wetsuit too.
Where are you located? Maybe we can arrange for Mrs.Stoo to try a Truli!
Thanks for the shout-outs @Hoag and @chillyinCanada !

Happy to answer any questions you might have about wetsuits: mia@TruliWetsuits.com
