I've been using the previous model of this suit for nine years and have been pleased with the durability, comfortable fit, and insulative power the Merino lining provides in the frigid (50 F) waters of the Puget Sound. While I was disappointed that the new version features plastic rather than brass zipper pulls, the new smooth skin ankle and O-ring wrist seals work well, as does the roll neck collar closure/seal. We'll see if the double-glued, blind stitched construction (made in China) hol...ds up as well as it did with my previous jumpsuit.
For me These are by far the best wet suit I have ever worn. I have also owned the same suit in a 5mm. A little about the use it gets, I'm a commercial diver with 16 year in the industry so my suits get a lot of water time and also get abused. If we are diving shallow 30' and above it's not uncommon to have 6-8 hour dives. With that being said the warmth and mobility of this suit is unmatched for my experience. I will recommend this suit to anybody. If you buy this suit and take care of it, ...it will last a very long time. Since I bought this suit one of my coworkers naught one too and raves about how comfortable it is.
