Review on NeoSport Wetsuits Premium Neoprene Full Suit by John Hill

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great Price for my opinion

The price is what ultimately got me to buy this wetsuit. I've been diving with it and was concerned about the lack of knee pads, as mentioned by other reviewers. The only time I spent on the bottom on my knees was during my certification dives, so really it's a non issue. The wetsuit fits me well, 5'11" 260lbs, I ordered a size XXL. The only problem I have is with the Velcro near my neck, I always have to have someone help me with it. Oh, and the legs are a little long (non issue), but this could be because I weigh more than I should for my height.Other than that, fits well and keeps me warm diving off the coast of Jupiter.----------------------------------------------------Update 1/22/2015, original purchase date 10/7/2012 (2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks)I was on a dive boat getting geared up. I went to zip up my wetsuit when the lanyard came free from the zipper. The actual zipper mechanism which holds the piece you hold when zipping broken. The piece attached to the lanyard was intact.I discovered that the zipper has a 10 year warranty. I've emailed NeoSport and I'm waiting for a reply. I forgot the lanyard on the boat, so I'm curious to see how they will handle this since the lanyard wasn't the defective piece.Until I know more, I'm dropping my rating to two stars and will post updates as I navigate the warranty process.

Pros
  • COMFORT: Using lycra trimmed arm, neck and waist openings allow for extra comfort.
Cons
  • The wetsuit is not durable and wears out quickly

This suit was the first 7mm I bought for working underwater everyday and it has worked very well at keeping me warm in water as cold as 50 degrees for an hour and a half. I am 6 ‘3” and 200 lbs so the correlated option on the size chart suggested that an extra large would be appropriate. I did so but I wish I would have gotten a xxl due to the construction near the armpits that has caused chafing in days i do not where a rash guard. Works for me, and I’m stoked it was so cheap, I’d say go for it.
