"I've used this suit diving in temperate Australian waters (11 - 18 degrees celcius). The major con is it's impossible to don & doff the suit without assistance because of the rear shoulder zip. When I bought it I didn't think this would trouble me, but actually, it's a pain. In addition quite a bit of force is required to pull it across (even when lubricated). I've done about 20 dives in it and it's beginning to pull the zip out from where it's glued in at each end. It needs more re-inforcement in those places. The other thing is I have to 'burp' the air out of it before decending. I do this by holding open the neck seal while floating on the surface. Inevitably a bit of water enters. This may be because the diameter of the legs is a bit big. I can never get it all out though, and I've actually had to add a kilo to my weightbelt. It's also necessary to punch a small hole in the hood to let air escape. Other than that it's pretty good. Overall it's comfortable and warm, and it's a very good suit. The quality of manufacture is high. However if I was to make this purchase decision again I would choose something else, purely because I don't like to depend on others to get suited up."
