Most comfortable suit i have owned

The rubber feels so much more supple and comfortable compared to previous plant based rubber suits i have owned. Cant wait to get a 4/3 version for next winter.

Amazing suit

Super warm and flexible suit with a great fit. Chest zip works well and isn’t as bulky around the neck as some of the older suits. Cheers guys.

so good

Tried this one for first time for an hour in chilly western Vic under cloudy skies and a breeze.
The bib entry was great - no dislocating the shoulders or getting lost in there holding your breath with your head where your elbow should be. Zipper is heavy duty, high quality. Yulex feels supple (even if muscles and joints don't). The fit was perfect: the only wrinkles I could find were on my face.
Super-warm and flexible, and worked superbly in conditions where I would've previously gone for a 4/3. Never going back to old-school neoprene.

Wow

Just brought this suit and it's the best wettie I have ever worn. Easy to get into, super comfy and just feels warm and well made. Looking forward to winter.
