Yamamoto Limestone vs Neoprene

[naui_bigfoot]

Shopping around for wetsuits and i didnt see too many opinions about the limestone based suits. In my research it seems the suit takes in much less water than standard neoprene and it way better for the environment. Of course it does costs a lot more and they also seem to keep you warmer vs the neoprene. Anyone ever used the yamamoto type wetsuits and like them better than neoprene?

Custom-Tailored Wetsuits Made from 100% Limestone Neoprene - example of the limestone suits I'm referring to.

With the money you spend on a custom wetsuit, it might be worth looking into a custom drysuit. I just looked at a 7mm suit on the sight you provided, and it costs more than a mtm drysuit made by seaskin

Are you open to the option of a two piece open cell suit?

What thickness? I’ve had good luck with Akona for 1mm and 3mm 4x seems to fit me well, I use a Hollis neotek for the colder water like SoCal and dry up north here in Monterey.

More like 7mm. I live in SoCal also - local waters are Catalina

The Hollis is 8mm, works really well down there in SoCal waters but if you really want to stay warm go dry.
