DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Aqua Lung SolAfx 8/7 mm Men's Wetsuit, Black/Charcoal

It's not diving in cold water that divers dislike, its 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 8mm and 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 with all seams glued and sewn. 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 kneepads are constructed of several independent panels that allow stretching with the Aqua Flex material hot new graphics are fresh and exciting. Suit is black/charcoal in color, is available in 13 sizes and is covered by a 12 month limited warranty.

      Comments about Aqualung Aqua Lung SolAfx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

      At my first try, the zipper was really tight to pull, and after I got it zipped it split open. Really, a brand new wetsuit that got a busted zipper??? I got the wetsuit off and inspected the zipper carefully and saw that it was not broken. At my second fitting I pulled up the wetsuit as high up as possible and now the zipper glided to a smooth close. Lesson learned, if the zipper is hard to pull then the wetsuit is not on correctly.

      On my first dive (California), I felt very warm all the way down to 80 ft. Then I could feel the cold coming through but I was never freezing. My buddy had a regular wetsuit (7mm) and he was freezing.

      Easy to get in to, but not so easy to take off. Pull it down as much as you can and then work on pulling down the arms behind your back to avoid popping a shoulder.

            One of the best suits, worth every penny

              • Diving

              Comments about Aqualung Aqua Lung SolAfx 8mm Men's Wetsuit:

              Super stretchy, super easy to don and doff, even when it's soaking wet in between dives.

              I'm very bad with cold water. Before, with a regular 7mm bodyglove, I could only dive with 58*F. With this SolAfx, I can dive with 55*F. But since it's very stretchy, I can wear a 2mm shorty inside and this setting allows me to dive at 50*F with little chill. Most of my night dives in SoCal are around 52*F and I have been diving comfortably with this double suit setting. Been diving with it for over a year. I don't remember getting cold again except one time when my computer read 49*F.

              I'm 5'11, 160lbs, and ordered a Med-Tall. Everything fits except the waist which seemed to be designed for big belly. I'm a slim type so that left a lot of room for water to stay in. So I spent $40 to cut it down and now it fits perfectly. Still worth it. If I had to buy another suit, I would buy this one again and have the shop trim it down again.

              This suit is worth every penny, even at full price. Definitely recommended.
