Best Semi dry under 200 pound

[dryan]

I'm looking at either an Beaver Icelandic ultra or Northern Diver omega or delta tech.
Pros/cons of each would be appreciated. also, which is warmest??

I have 2 ND Omegas

A 7mm (I thought it was 5mm) i use on Holiday and a 5.5/6.5mm (I thought they were both 7mm) with jacket i use in the UK, very happy with both

Single suit did me well in Lanzarotti and Croatia doing up to an hour in 18/19% Water.

I used the 2 piece for a day at Scapa in Aug while my dry-suit was repaired and it was OK for up to 45min in 13% water. Its great from late may to Oct/Nov off the South Coast.

Unless your a wimp that is

Not used either of the others.

ok

The Omega has full suit with t shirt arms then a hooded top with long arms to go over.

The Delta Tech has full long armed suit with shortie over it.

The Delta tech ive used was fine, but its 5.5mm plus 6mm, the omega is 7mm plus 7mm i think.

The Delta tech the shortie legs- does this make much difference.

Im trying to work out why there is a price difference. Id prefer the Omega if as warm. (it s all black!!)

Ha Ha,

I like getting wet though!

The only bit that causes me grief is my head as i enter the water and get a 10 second headache/brain freeze!!

It would be the same in a dry suit.

No I dont feel the cold
