When looking at the suit at first, you think the size in measurements that is supposed to fit you is about twice the size it should be and you could easily be fooled into buying a smaller size. Don't be, although for £320 bucks or anything less for that matter,you would be a fool to buy without trying, you need that extra space just to get the thing on and when you crouch to let the air out holding the neck seal out the suit clings to you with plenty of movement all round. Very surprised at how comfortable the suit is. The neoprene neck and wrist seals have a smooth side to skin side which doesn't rash your skin, and i have very sensitive skin around the neck, ( no Mark 111's for me )even my 18.5 " neck doesn't feel too strained with the tension from as it comes seal. Won't even bother trying to stretch the seals.
The material does seem as if it could tare easily but i coulkd be mistaking, forgive me for not testing this out. I will keep my re-entry driils for the summer and my wet suit on. There is re-inforcement in the usuall areas, but??? I can't think how i would ever need a fly zip. I've never need to go when out, so?
I've bought a pair of Jobe neoprene boots to go with the suit. Haven't got them yet after 2 weeks from ordering from so called in stock, ( will hold off from slating the suppliers for now ) but i'll give an opinion on them later.
All in all, happy with the buy, but no more roll ups while out with this kit.
The dogs paw nails are still gushing ;D ;D ;D
