Brand: Pinnacle

Located in: Exposure Protection, Wetsuits

The Element is as rugged and durable a 7mm wetsuit as you will ever find, and warmer than any other jumpsuit-type suit. Incredibly warm and soft Merino lining bonded to 7mm neoprene provides the insulation, and features like Kevlar kneepads, rubber shoulder pads, Small Diamond exterior lining, and heavy-duty hardware guarantee the durability. The Element is designed and built to be dived hard and often. The Element is the first rear-entry jumpsuit to employ the new and unique Riri zipper, which only allows water to pass under a pressure imbalance, meaning that the zipper only allows enough water to enter and exit in order to equalize the suit during ascents and descents. Features like Pinnacle's patented Merino lining system, roll-neck collar, wrist and forearm seals, a chimney ankle sealing system, and 7mm thick neoprene throughout the entire suit combine to keep divers warm in very cold conditions. High-stretch Elastiprene neoprene throughout the suit make the Element comfortable enough to keep on during long surface intervals.

King 1 is the height of a Medium Large and Large Short, but the weight falls between a 3XL and a 4XL. The actual range is 5'9" to 6' tall and between 290 and 320 pounds.

King 2 is the approximate height of a Large and XL Short and the weight of a XXXL. The actual range is 5'10" to 6'1" tall and between 240 and 275 pounds.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Element 7mm Men's Jumpsuit:

This is a very tight suit and requires help to get all the way on. In the water there was a brief trickle down the back, then the lining swelled and nothing came in after. I was in 68 degree water and was perfectly warm. Suit was a little tight under the arms and the zipper broke the 1st time I tried to zip it by myself. I haven't been back in the water yet, but the replacement zips freely on the hanger.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was no problem. I had to return due to a broken zipper, but replacement came promptly.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Element 7mm Men's Jumpsuit:

This is the first 7mm wetsuit I've ever owned. I didn't know much about Pinnacle Suits before I bought it, but I must say they make some really good suits. The build quality seems amazing on this suit. The suit is really warm, and dries fast, probably because of the Merino lining. Its listed as being made out of Elasteprene but it still seems a bit difficult to put on and take off, maybe that's because its a 7mm and its thick. I really like the Kevlar knee pads and the Action-reflex panels in elbows though they seem slightly off from where my elbow actually is.

I really only have 1 complaint about this suit, I'm not able to zip it up without help, this may just be a Pinnacle thing but since they have these 10mm neoprene-spines, it makes it very difficult to pull the zipper up unless someone is pushing the back together so the zipper doesn't get caught on the neoprene.
