wetsuits

[Freedive WI]

I just got my new Elios wetsuit and can easily say that it is the WARMEST wetsuit I have ever used- and I've owned a lot of them over the past couple of decades. Fred, FreediveND, has a bunch of them and will tell you the same thing.

I used my 2 piece 6mm suit for a few hours last weekend in 43 degree water and never even felt a shiver. I, reluctantly, had to get out of the water because everyone else was cold and wanted to go home.

BTW: When a comapny calls there suit a "semi-dry" the are mislabeling them about 90% of the time. To be a "true" sem-dry they need to have drysuit seals on the neck, wrist, and ankles to keep the water out AND have a drysuit zipper on them as well. I believe the Mares Isotherm fits this definition, but many of the other companies have jumped on the band-wagon lately and are not quite accurate. Although my apnea suit is wamrer than any semi-dry I have ever worn, I could not truly call it a semi-dry and feel right about it. Other comapnies that make true semi-dry's are: Sporasub, Cressi sub, Blue water Hunter, Free Shark, and some of the really old Parkway suits- these were basically Jetsuits without the valves on them.
