I have owned two NOKIA suits back to back and had no problems at all. I
dive them exclusively in the Great Lakes. The Nokia suits I owned were made
by the same company as Viking...same suit just different side of the room.
The first one I bought was actually distributed by Whites in British
Columbia.
I had no trouble with leaks until about 300 dives and 5 years of use and
some unplanned exposures to petroleum products.
I have been happy with them.
