Hi all yes I am newbie and yes I have used the search function extensively over the last 4 days. I am looking at two options for my first drysuit and am still undecided..
My options are:
Merino lined Hypercompressed 4mm Neo drysuit or Evolution 2 from Pinnacle.
I dive generally in water from 9 degrees celcius to 16 degrees celcius (48f to 61f) and mostly in depths from 10 to 20 metres although sometimes a 30m dive is on offer. I sometimes do a very small amount of wreck diving but very low level stuff.
What I have read seems to be that neo will keep me warmer but will require more lead and that the evo suit will require more in the way of insulation from undergarments and that the evo is likely to be more hardwearing. The evo is front zipped while the neo is rear zipped. I have tried both suits on in the shop and both fit very nicely. The neo is NZD1299 and the evo has been reduced from NZD3000 to NZD1400 so the price difference is nothing.
Any thoughts or advice on which way i should go would be appreciated. Its my first drysuit and I want to make the most informed decision I can.
Thanks oh wise ones
