what wetsuit?

[deepdestroyer]

Hi everyone I am going to the virgin islands this X-mas and need a wetsuit for my girlfriend to snorkel in. I was thinking maybe a 3mm akona, or neosport full suit or somthing thats not too expencive. She will probably only wear it on the trip, and when we go to the springs here in fl. I was just wondering if there are any other decent brands out there that I had'nt heard of which arent too pricey(I would love for her to be able to get a hyperstretch material), or if there are any sales anywhere. We can only afford to spend about $150.
Thanks, John K.

What size?
ScubaMax makes a sturdy suit at very reasonable prices. A 1-piece [women's cut] 3mm goes for around $75; a 2mm shorty for around $50.
5mm unisex sleeveless shorty for around $65

She wants a 3mm full suit, prob around size 14 or so

I have my Henderson Neosport 3/2mm fullsuit for around $75. I saw a 3/2 mm fullsuit on sale on LP for $70 and they have size 14 in stock.

I used to have a Akona 3mm but now I use a Bare Velocity 3/2 which is extremely comfortable and well-built.

You can find the new model the Bare 3/2 Attack Fullsuit on leisurepro.com for $85.00

Cheers.

Check out the neosport or aeris wetsuits at crazyscuba.com. the new aeris suits have some of that stretchy stuff, and they aren't as expensive as the henderson hyperstretch. I have hyperstretch and absolutely LOVE them! Won't wear anything else, but I do wear thick suits too, cause I'm very cold natured. They really know how to fit people at crazyscuba too. Been doing it long time, and they might have a scubaboard discount.
