Review on ScubaPro Everflex Steamer Wetsuit Medium Sports & Fitness by Darian Massey

This wetsuit has many great features, many of which played a key role in my purchase. Unfortunately I wish I had tried it on before I bought it. First what I like. The material is great, lots of stretch and thicker where needed. The fleece lining is cool, for its size it's a great suit! The padding on the arms, neck and ankles is great without cutting off circulation, although the zips that work in conjunction with those pads are another story, but more on that later. Loop at the base of the rear zip and another clip on the right thigh is convenient for attaching parts, ideal for diving with a basic BCD back. The wetsuit fits very well, my height is 185cm, weight 77kg, average size fits me. That's a great suit. , the style is fortunately a bit weaker compared to the last issue. The new blue fleece lining also makes the new suit look better with the top down. Poorly! I feel like there are some design flaws when it comes to comfort and practicality. First, the zippers on the arms impede wrist movement, which probably won't bother most divers, but if you do a lot of arm movement, such as B. UW photos, it is annoying. You can open the zips with a single touch but I'd rather have no zips at all, I've never had a problem getting my hands through a 5mm wetsuit unless I left the dive computer on. Lightning in the neck! It's extremely awkward to zip all the way up, and even when it's halfway up I can still feel the pressure on the bottom of my Adam's apple when I look down. Without a zipper, the neck padding obviously doesn't seal as well when moving and you get leaks. I believe there is no middle ground between no leakage and comfort, it's one or the other. The diagonal back zip might seem like a good idea at first, it also has extra padding in the back instead of the normal vertical zip, but I found that when you try to put on a wetsuit on your own you are pretty much screwed , the zipper always jams halfway. the times i was able to zip up on my own took about 3-4 minutes of constant struggling until i finally got lucky. It really shouldn't be that hard, it's ridiculous! By the way, when you crouch or bend down, the suit fits very tightly on the left side due to the diagonal zipper at the back.
