Review on Seavenger Alpha 3Mm Neoprene Fullsuit Wetsuit by Gary Hall

This wetsuit is very well made, with quality flat stitching, a durable and seam-taped zipper, and nice rubber reinforcement in areas of high stress. I am 6'2", 195 lbs. I have a 34" waist and a 42" chest, and am fairly trim and muscular. I ordered the XL to ensure that it would be tall enough for me. I have a very long torso, so it is a little snug in the groin and neck area, but not so much to be uncomfortable or to limit flexibility. It is plenty long in the arm length and leg length for someone with a wingspan up to around 76", and fits nice and snug in the extremities. The only place that I wish it fit better is in the lumbar area. There is a little bit of dead space that I know will get a bit cold. It is basically impossible to find a wetsuit for someone much over 6' tall that doesn't assume you have a bit of a beer gut and a 38" waist, and I own much pricier wetsuits as well as having tried on many more. The cost to have a custom-tailored wetsuit is just too high for me as a vacation diver. Otherwise, the build quality seems excellent, and the overall fit is B+.My girlfriend's wetsuit came in today and it is nowhere near the size one would expect from the description. She is 5'8.5", 145 lbs., a 26" waist, 38" chest, and 40" hips, and we were hesitant to get the size 9 because she was right at the limit on the size chart. We went with the size 9 anyway, thinking it would be really tight, but it was WAY too big. It fit fine in the hips, butt, and legs, but the entire portion of the wetsuit above the hips way really loose and baggy with a ton of dead space around her torso and scapulas. We are returning this size 9 and ordering a size 7. I would say that the men's sizes so far are much closer to being accurate than the women's.The only negative for this wet suit (besides the poor sizing information) is that the seams are flat stitched. This means that they are very comfortable, but are not totally water-proof, so it will not be as warm as a pricier suit with sealed seams. For the warm-water diving that I do (75+ degrees) it will be just fine, and at this price I should be happy it even exists, much less complain about not having premium seams.If you are going to dive a lot and dive in colder water climates (or make a lot of dives every day, like 5+ tanks) I would recommend going with something with sealed seams and a thicker mm neoprene. Be prepared to spend at least thrice as much to even get into the better seam-sealed 5mm and 7mm suits.
