It's not diving in cold water that divers dislike, it's being cold while diving. Aqua Lung is ready to assist with its new Solafx cold water wetsuits. This across-the- chest zipper, hood-attached suit is made completely out of our four-way stretch, Aqua Flex 8mmand 7mm neoprene so you can be warm and comfortable at the same time. Say good-bye to the cold and slide into a Solafx today. Torso is made of 8mm, four-way stretch Aqua Flex neoprene while the legs and sleeves are made of 7mm Aqua Flex. These are the thicknesses of the base neoprene before the nylon gets added. The attached hood not only prevents cold water from entering the neck, it also features "Vent G2" technology that allows trapped regulator exhaust bubbles to exit while keeping cold water out. The "Plasmaloc" zipper has tighter tolerances and a unique integrated tooth design that make the zipper more water resistant than most competitors' models. A water dam covers the neck and shoulders to add another level of thermal protection against any water ingress through the zipper. "Skin-in" gasket seals in the forearms and calves minimize water entry through the sleeves and legs. The kneepad is constructed of several independent panels that allow stretch with the Aqua Flex material Hot; new graphics are fresh and exciting. Suit is black with red trim.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

Changed over from dry to wet, find this suite to not have that initial charge of cold upon entry. Other than feet and face and hands , totally satisfied.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

Great suit. Keeps you warm throughout the entire dive. Easy to put on and off. Was surprised by signs of wear after 10 dives - largely cosmetic, but I hope they do not progress and shorten the life of the suit.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

This suit is amazing - cross chest zipper easy to work alone after doing it 2 or 3 times to break the zipper in, slightly stretchy material feels good and makes the suit easy to don and doff, I was just as comfortable in this as in a 7mm farmer john in 50 degree water. Integrated hood is not too tight in the neck, face seal minimizes water entry. Virtually no water circulation, no shock on entry. I am very happy with the suit. It is sensitive to wear by velcro, as all stretchy neoprene seems to be. Drys really fast, with the fan and squeezing out arms and legs periodically for the first 3h suit dried in 12 hours.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

Excellent wetsuit-- kept me warm and comfy in the cold waters of Monterey. Some velcro on my BC pulled some of the external skin of the suit, which is frustrating-- but I suppose I'll see how that ends up. All in, a good buy, and I am very happy with it.

Very comfortable and warm suit. Used it to dive out of Morro Bay in 49 degree water and it kept me warm. Also used it to dive in Monterey Bay and was warm.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

This is an awesome wetsuit in my opinion. I dove this suit to 60' in 51 degree water and never got cold and never really got wet. I just returned from 114' deep dive this weekend and quite honestly didnt really get that cold either. The Temp was 41 degrees and really the only thing that got cold was my fingers and feet. Which obviuosly has nothing to do with the wetsuit. If you dont have the money for a dry suit yet then this could work for you. I would invest in some warm boots and gloves and I think you could manage to stay pretty warm on deep dives.

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

This is a great suit for colder water. Does not let the water get down your back because of the great hood and the spine pad helps a great deal, too! It's a very comfortable suit, easy to move in and very affordable!

Comments about Aqualung Aqualung Solafx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

I was hesitant on purchasing a suit with an integrated hood, but after trying on this suit I fell in love with the fit/feel (great for larger chest/shoulders). Dove a couple consecutive days/nights in Monterey, CA in 40 degree weather and was warm in and out of the water. The suit was extremely warm, was easy on/off(need a buddy for zipping the last 4-6")and dried quickly. I never write reviews, but this suit deserves one! Highly recommend!
