I'm surprised you haven't considered a crushed neoprene drysuit.

This is the standard comment, but there isn’t a good reason for it to be honest. It’s mostly based on the historic concept that drysuits were made from uncompressed, thick neoprene. Almost all neoprene drysuits now are compressed so that they exhibit minimal buoyancy changes. A 3 mm neoprene drysuit has many benefits and very little drawbacks, in my opinion.Apollo make one too, a crushed neo drysuit isn't really tec oriented though IMO.
Probably just not tough enough, one plus is it still gives some warmth if there is a total flood. I still wouldn't want to be doing any serious cave or wreck diving in one.very little drawbacks
Which is strange to me. I’ve heard this sometimes. But I’ve also heard neoprene drysuits are much more well suited to wreck diving, because they’re significantly thicker. I’ve never heard of anyone suffering from a cut or tear that results in a full flooding in a neoprene drysuit. In fact, I’ve seen some gnarly neoprene wrist seals where people got their arms pretty soaked but still didn’t suffer from a complete flood. To me it seems trilams are much more susceptible to damage because they’re thinner and more flexible.Probably just not tough enough, one plus is it still gives some warmth if there is a total flood.

To be fair, I've only heard it too. Ive never had a neo drysuit.I’ve heard this sometimes.
Do Not buy suit with Antares rings! Plethora of posts, of people hating them....
It's 1800eur with silicone neck and antares rings and MTM.
Also, has a sidemount cut (low profile pockets and high zipper so yo don't compress it using the belt). and it's double shell.
