excellent wetsuit

By Hammerhead

Used this wetsuit in Monterey,CA in 48F water and felt very comfortable. I usually get cold quicker than other diver but not with this suit.

 

Great Wetsuit

By Yuniel D.

This is by far the best cold water wetsuit I own. I am not going to sit here and tell you it is easy to put on, or you will be able to move or maneuver like you had a 3MM wetsuit. Once you put this wetsuit on your ability to maneuver will be cut by one third. With that said, the integrated hood eliminates the bulkiness of a conventional hood or water entry due to zippers and seams. I personally used this wetsuit to dive in 44F - 46F degree water and I was comfortable all four 45-52 minut...

The SolAfx is Aqua Lung's most advanced wetsuit, with unique features like an integrated hood and internal arm and leg cuffs. The redesigned SolAfx suit now includes Aqua Lung's X-Tend cuffs, providing a finished look with maximum stretch. It has new environmentally friendly features, such as the non-P.A.H. (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) neoprene. Unique designs are specially tailored for men and women. The suit provides maximum warmth, thanks to its 8mm torso and 7mm arms and legs. X-tend cuff technology provides a finished look without sacrificing stretch by removing restrictive edge tape. Environmentally friendly features: neoprene free of P.A.H. (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons), made from a non-petroleum-based material, and has REACH (European Union standards) approved thread. 8mm AquaFlex neoprene used in the torso with 7mm AquaFlex neoprene on the legs and arms for added flexibility. Liquid Fusion Seam Technology with reinforcing patches on the inside at seam junctions enhances the durability and integrity of the seams.

The suit has an across-the-chest "Plasmaloc" zipper with tighter tolerances and a unique integrated tooth design that makes the zipper more water resistant than most other brands. This minimizes water exchange and allows you to remain warm throughout your dive. Silicone no slip shoulder feature provides added protection and helps to keep the BC shoulder straps in place. A water dam covers the neck and shoulders, providing an additional layer of thermal protection against any water entering through the zipper. Skin-in gasket seals in the forearms and calves minimize water entry through the sleeves and legs. Lower back pad helps keep water out. The outer nylon material is resistant to abrasions and "hook-and-loop" snags due to the tighter weave to keep your suit looking good! The inner material is ultra-soft making these suits easy to don and doff.

An improved Powertex kneepad offers increased flexibility while offering excellent abrasion resistance. Pre-bent anatomic legs and arms provide a more comfortable fit and reduce bunching of material at the joints. The attached hood offers G2 Vent Technology that allows trapped regulators exhaust bubbles to exit while keeping cold water out. Suit has an YKK # 10 zipper closure, all seams are glued, blind stitched and liquid rubber coated. The Super-Stretch neoprene has 4-way stretch for easy donning and doffing. Suit is available in multiple sizes.

This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

SETH O  Does anyone have a high dive count with this suit? How has it held up long term? I do 8-10 dives a week and need it to be durable with care.
AARON C  I dove this suit hull cleaning day in and day out and it lasted me two seasons and ill push it for a 3rd this winter. Very durable and pretty comfortable as well. If I were you I would look at bare semi dri suits as well. They are both pretty comparable.
Gilbert G  It has held up well. Getting the proper fit is difficult and then keeping your body te same size is even more difficult over years. If you do not vary in size and the water is not under 65 degrees this is a good suit otherwise a dry suit is better.
Oscar R  Have been with me for about five years. Approximately 300 dives and still performs like a champ.
ANDREW D  I used this suit for 6-8 months before I went for my divemaster cert and upgraded to a drysuit. I had probably 100+ dives on it and it still looked and worked fine. With it being a semi dry it's quite the squeeze to get in, but it's very warm as long as you don't go real deep.
Brian A  What is the difference between the one that is lost was at 269 and this newer model for 569??
Mario C  Same suit, previous version. Older model will sell for less than the most recent. The newer is slightly more stretchy.
Shopper  What size would someone recommend for 5'10 and 140 lbs? Large Long?
STEPHEN S  It may, I am 5.8 175 and the regular is perfect. Buy and try it, doesn't fit return it.
RAFAEL C  Hi I'm 5'7" 178 lbs, should I get the Large short?
ED R  I would go with an XL. I'm 200 lbs. 5' 10" and I get a XXXL
EDWARD K  Yes that is about right
Richard K  I need a shorter inseam. Can it be tailored?
YAN G  No, we do not special order any Aqualung suits with different length sleeves or legs.
YAN G  Yes, there are tailors who can work on wetsuits. You would have to find one in your area.
Richard K  Can the Aqua Lung suits be special ordered with a shorter inseam or sleeve length? Non-returnable, of course.
ED R  There are people out there who tailor wet suits.
