I have used a Unisuit for three years and would say that it has been a warm experience. After more than 100 dives it shows some wear and a bit of stretch marks in the nylon at the wrists. The neoprene neck seal is still in perfect conditionand works well. The double wrist seal arrangement is a bit fussy about minor leakage when having the suit a bit lean on air (I don't have dry gloves). The zipper has been regularly lubed and is still like new. The zipper opens enough to allow a male to relieve onself conveniently. The suit has been adequately warm in water down to 37 degrees F. The shortcoming of this suit is it is not well designed for cave diving. The boots tend to restrict ankle movement when engaged in the fine fin control needed for cave diving and you must work against the neoprene while doing bent knee cave finning. All in all I found it a goodsuit for cold water wreck diving.
