Neopreme buoyancy changes with depth, and the deeper you go, the less
thermal protection the suit itself provides. Use a shell suit and the
correct insulation, and your buoyancy and protection are the same at all
depths, while your motion is not restricted by the mess of a thick
insulation and a heavy neopreme suit, not to mention the increased
weight needed shallow and the increased inflation needed deep. These
suits are garbage, at best, and are like fishing lures - sold to fool
the fishermen , not the fish. Only a Zamgbeckian Moron would fall for
thinking a "thick" neopreme suit means anything but binding discomfrot
and blatent strokery . They should sell these with masks to waer over
your face so people can not idientify you. Does yours have the "kick me"
sign on the back?
