Hi People....
Just thought I'd put a post on here for anyone who might be on the lookout for a new wetsuit. I went to LIDS at the weekend and was on the lookout for a 3mm full suit. I was getting a bit dispondent as I couldn't find what I was looking for. At the moment I wear a full 5mm from Scubapro and was looking for something of similar quality but in 3mm.
Anyway at the show my mate NeilM pointed me in the direction of 'Waterproof' who do both wetsuits and drysuits. I had walked past this stand but hadn't looked at the wetsuits as they were displayed on mannequins and looked alot more expensive than the £100 approx I wanted to pay (looked more on par with the Scubapro everflex in terms of their quality).
Anyway I tried one on and to say I was impressed was an understatement. The suit fits so well it could almost be made to measure...it is soooo comfortable. When I took the suit back to the DD stand Mrs Mares had a look at it and went off to try one on on my recommendation too. She is also now the proud owner of a full 3mm woman's fit! I should be on commission
Of course then hubbie got wind of it and tried the men's fit one on and just had to buy one for himself too...
So big up to 'Waterproof' for producing the best fitting and comfortable wetsuit I have had the opportunity to try on. Just for reference SDS are official suppliers for them as I don't know if they sell direct to the public (we had to go to the SDS stall at LIDS as they weren't able to sell us them directly). They came out at £100 a piece which I thought wasn't bad for the quality of the construction and the excellent fit.
Just got to wait until September to get them wet now.....!!!!
