Purchansed this suit because I was on the fence about needing a dry suit or not. I read reviews about the welded seams and the minimal flooding in the suit. I am full figured and I was concerned about the fit - I was able to get help with sizing from PleasureSports. The warmth it brings is what I needed for my cold water dives. I wear a vented 7mm hood, boots and gloves. If I am too cold I wear my 5/3 hooded vest under the suit and no leaks. Very little energy required to stay warm due to the seals and seams weld. I am looking forward to my next dive.
I like my wetsuit so much. I recommend it to anyone who is tired of being cold and look for a suit that really is forward thinking. It dries so fast and has so much stretch for a 7mm suit that you don't fight it. I would like a tiny bit more if it had yellow, lol. I received the best support from Pleasure Sports. I was able to chat with the staff and get help with my size and my accessories. I bought the skinsuit with the padded spin by henderson. That piece gives me yet another layer of warmth. Ahhhh... and the skin makes getting my suit on a breeze, I had having to put on a suit and now I don't care. That is an improvement in my world.
