Overview

Diving into cold water, a scuba diver gets a full body neoprene suit with an Omnired-lined attached hood and a front-entry dry zipper. An internal bib and a thigh cargo pocket add storage and coverage.

Buy it for the thick neoprene and the hooded, zip-in design aimed at cold water. The limitation is the sizing detail, since only a Small is shown and no fit chart is listed.

Who it's for

Adult male divers in cold water who prefer a semi-dry suit with the hood attached. Anyone wanting a drysuit, a women's cut or a published size chart should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Thick neoprene for cold water
  • Attached Omnired-lined hood
  • Front-entry dry zipper
  • Internal bib and cargo pocket
Cons
  • Not a drysuit despite the category
  • Size chart missing from listing
  • Small only in this listing

Performance notes

Neoprene thickness sets how much warmth the suit holds, and the listed thickness is in the cold-water range. How much water gets in depends on the seals, the hood and the zipper design, which the listing does not detail. Fit decides how well those features work.
