Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Cruiser 7 7mm Women's Jumpsuit:
I use it for lake diving in Texas because the water isn't always warm. I have worn it with a dive skin in 50 degree water and it only got cold just a bit. I love this product for the money and I actually wear it more than my Tilos 3 mm. I can't emphasize what a great product this is! I have read others complain that it chokes but I have found that if I take my time to put it on properly and pull it up as I go, I don't have this issue.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Cruiser 7 7mm Women's Jumpsuit:
I originally ordered a Medium-Large according to the sizing chart recommendations. I really wanted a Medium-Large-Small, since I am only 5'4" and many suits I've worn have been a bit too long, but there wasn't any in stock so I took my chances with the normal M/L. I'm glad I didn't get the short because the normal one bordered on being too short. The M/L suit didn't fit me in general, the shoulders and neck were way too tight, I could barely zip it up past my shoulder blades. So, I exchanged it for a Large, even though the large didn't exactly match my dimensions on the sizing chart. The large was more comfortable, but was a little too roomy in the waist/crotch area, even so, the neck was still REALLY tight. The suit in general is not very flexible and comfortable. Standing up the neck was tight, but bearable, however when I sat down it was impossible to breathe. As a beginner who still gets anxious occasionally, the last thing I need is to feel like I am suffocating in my suit. I did some research and found a lot of reviews expressing this same problem, not just with the Cruiser, but with ALL Pinnacle suits. In all fairness, these people did mention that the tightness eases up a bit once you are in the water.It must just be the particular cut they have for their suits, the neck tends to fit snug...a bit too much for me.
I never got to test it out in the water because I exchanged for a different brand (a more flexible one) due to the neck thing. It seems like a decent suit otherwise, good price, seems warm and durable. But you may be like me and find it awkward and uncomfortable.
