Hello guys!
I'm in the process of getting my first wet-suit, that will be used mainly in lakes and in the Adriatic Sea.
I came across a very cool looking Hollis 7mm semy-dry suit with diagonal back zippers and 2 pockets. The price is double compared to regular bare wetsuit, but since it has 2 pockets already (and it looks very cool, etc) I'm still considering to buy it.
I haven't tried it on yet, because the guy at the dive shop didn't recommend it but now I'm having second thoughts.
My main concerns are:
1. diagonal dry suit zippers - probably requires buddy to close/open
2. I would definitely want to have pockets on my suit, but wouldn't that interfere with wearing another layer of thermal protection (shorty for example?)
I need your advice guys! Should I consider getting one or should I just forget it and go with a regular 7mm suit and glue pockets on that one. Thanks!
