Waterproof Wetsuits

[Kennyscot]

Anybody know anything about "Waterproof" brand/company wetsuits?

Never heard of the brand, but I'm assuming this is the website of the Swedish company you have in mind:

I have a 3mm and a 5mm waterproof and can highly recommend them. Well made and well fitting.

They are popular here...specially the new "designed" wetsuits...have booties from them and only heard good things...oh and as david wilson said: www.waterproof.se is the company site...

I have a 3mm and as Verona said they are nice.

These are the rental suits at my LDS. My husband was always disappointed when the akonas were out and he had to use the waterproof suit. The main thing he hated was the excessive amount of extra rubber at the wrists and ankles, he felt like he was suiting up for the arctic and thought that the proportions for the wrists and ankle seals were not in line with the sizing of the suit.

They are very nice suits. By far the warmest wetsuit Ive used and definitely a nice looking suit. I have a 3mm and a 7mm. Im also a big fan of their gloves. The 5mm gloves kept my hands warm in the 47 degree water in British Columbia.

Thanks for all the replies..I have a pair of the gloves also.. Best gloves on the market. My LDS sells them but as far as I know hasn't sold any and I haven't heard any word on them, positive or negative. They look like a well made suit and have nice features...lots of zippers and wrist/ankle seals. They are actually cheaper than the high end bare suit.(7mm vs 7mm).
