SKU: PINMEM5

DESCRIPTION
The Merino-Elastiprene 5 represents a revolutionary breakthrough in wetsuit design! This is a truly high-stretch wetsuit that still provides superior insulation. The M-E 5 provides more flexibility and sizing latitude than most traditional 3mm suits, yet is as warm as many 7mm suits. It is also the first high-stretch suit to incorporate Pinancle's famous Merino lining system, which not only adds warmth, but also promotes quick drying after a dive and helps to reduce odors. At the same time, the Merino-Elastiprene 5 is built to last, as durable as all Pinnacle suits. This suit is the obvious choice for highly discerning divers who want the best temperate water suit available.

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 Merino-Elastiprene 5mm Jumpsuit Mens:

    This suit is awesome. Just completed my first dives in it with temps between 55-59 F. I was actually very warm throughout the entire dive. No cold chills at all. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because when you zip the back zipper it is a little hard when you get close to the neck because of the neck seal. The seals are excellent. This suit is just about perfect.

      Dove this suit for the first time today. My computer said the max water temperature was 49F. With hood and gloves, I felt warm through two dives. I am very happy with the warmth of the suit.

        Comfortable, very stretchy, excellent seals, fairly easy to don/doff considering its 5mm, never hot in the boat or in the water. The only downside I see after a week of use in 81F water are velcro snags around the waist - watch that BCD belt closure.

          Comments about Pinnacle Merino-Elastiprene 5mm Jumpsuit Mens:

          I had a 3mm Pinnacle Merino Fusion which is a version of this suit with less stretchy neoprene and with traditional ankle seals. The suit was warm but I needed help to get the blasted thing over my feet especially when it was wet.

          This suit feels like it's a 2nd skin and the ankle zippers make it just incredibly easy to doff and don. As with the Fusion the merino lining adds about a mm of warmth.

            This is the best wetsuit I have ever owned. The lining makes doffing and donning very easy, and it is extremely flexible. The fit is right on, and it feels warmer than my old 5mm suit. I have worn it on two occasions, both times in Lake Tahoe, and I was very comfortable.
