7mm Deep 6 Wetsuit. Smoking hot deal and they still have the full size range in stock. I took the 3mm to Turks and Caicos back in December and ordered the 7mm as soon as I got home. I haven't had it in the water yet, though.

OOhhh... LOVE the idea of pockets! Was looking for a 5 mm, but I guess if this one isn't too heavy or floaty I could consider it. Looks like they don't make a 5 mm. I could keep my old Henderson for the summer.
 
Thanks! Have heard some people say that they like them. I had a REALLY bad experience with them a few years ago (not the suit itself, but with the customer service), but maybe management has changed...

That was my experience as well. They're still run by the same people.
 
I use a Bare S-Flex 5mm, and it's super comfortable, on par with warmth with an old Bare Velocity 7mm(non ultrawarmth) I was using, but much more comfortable.

I used it this weekend for a 1hr long dive with 13C lowest temp.

And I can recommend it to anyone. Also they have inbetween sizes like large short, large tall....

Another thing, if you're a cold diver, go with velocity (new one) or ultrawarmth.

And just to you know, the neoprene is so strechy it feels like you're wearing a larger suit, but it actually is snug.
 
One thing I find awesome is the "canadian" seal. I thunk they call it like that.

I found put that it tends to keep the warm water better then simple glide skin.

Combine it with it's bibed hood, and you're super warm.

+2 on the Deep Six. I dove it extensively after Christmas. It's held up well.
 
Will call them tomorrow. Did you have a 7 or a 3? I thin that the 3 might not be much warmer than my 5 mm, but I would consider a 7 mm if it wasn't too bulky or confining, or buoyant....
