Review on 🀿 Premium Cressi Ultraspan Scuba Diving Wetsuit: Quality Since 1946, Made in Italy by Jeffrey Gallagher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect. Would be a winner if only the fit was compatible.

I love Cressi suits and use a two piece open cell 5mm suit for cold water freediving. My 11 year old daughter needed a suit and she was getting too big for teenage suits so we bought this for her. first XS suit for adults. For the money this is an excellent suit. An absolutely HUGE improvement over the $70 suits. The neckline is lined with open-cell neoprene to ensure an excellent seal (beware of sharp fingernails!). 3mm/2mm make the suit strong yet fit/flexible. The zipper is very well thought out and secure. The whole costume feels sturdy and durable. I was glad to see the extra knee pads. The overall design is colorful yet stylish. This suit (zip-up included) looks just as good as many suits that cost twice as much! After processing and fitting the suit I have come to the conclusion that this Cressi suit will last a number of years and also stand up to some abuse and neglect! The only issue for us was the fit of this costume for my daughter. A cut in the wetsuit caused loose material to form around the upper body. Anyone with experience in cold water wetsuits knows that loose material will cause the cold water to wash out and splash into the wetsuit. This negates much of the wetsuit's insulating potential. We swim in very cold water and cannot scale down this model. In the end, we settled on the RipCurl brand, which costs about 50% more. In return, you get more stretch and flexibility. However, I have to say: This Cressi Morea costume was 85% better than the more expensive costume! If your needs are simple and you can get this Morea suit that suits you, I would 100% recommend it.

Pros
  • Morea is a one-piece wetsuit made from premium 3mm neoprene, ideal for all water sports such as snorkeling, surfing, diving and kayaking.
Cons
