Hello all

I'm set to buy a ScubaPro Everflex 5mm after reading many rave reviews online. However I've discovered a few different types/models and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice deciding between them?

1. Old Everflex C-Zip - SCUBAPRO -

2. Old Everflex 5/4mm - Scubapro Everflex 5/4mm Steamer Back Zip

3. 2016 Everflex 5/4 - http://www.scubapro.com/en-GB/SWE/divewear/wetsuits/products/everflex-75,-54,-32.aspx


I've read C-zip might be warmer compared to the two which have a conventional back zip. Does that have any truth? Are there any other differences ? Is it more or less comfortable ? As durable?

The 2016 model is almost 50% more expensive than the previous two. Are there any significant differences compared to the older models?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a two year old Everflex 5/4. It's flexible and has a warm lining. I like that it has zippers in the ankles and it seals out the water better than any suit I have worn. What I don't like is Scubapro has redesigned the zipper so that it no longer zips straight up the back, but on a diagonal. I really had no trouble getting into my suit but now have to ask my buddy to zip me in.
