To be honest the MSF is a warm suit but it's heavy and restrictive. The Outer Edge is still a 3.5mm suit so will it really be that much more flexible ? I just looked at it again and I'd need to find £610 to have the spec that I want...

3.5m Neo is a virtual membrain. Neo streatches membrain dosent. Its like the Ri200 thing from 03. It dosent look or feel at all like a neo suit to me. It much more like a mambrain.

It should be fine. Mind you id take a look at that body glove deal it sounds superb and its 2.5mm neo?? That is a membrain isnt it ?

just found a couple more
I started out in a 7mm neo then went to a membrane for the last 8 years but it don't matter what I put under it I always end up cold, shiverin on deco is "not good". Only got rid of the neo cos it became uneconomical to repair.

Check this typhoon out for £350 GO-DIVE SCUBA STORE

And this one http://www.deepbluedive.com/category...bproducts=true ND CNX25.. mind you never been to keen on ND stuff, mate had a CNX200 and took it back 5 times, they patented the "never dry" system with his suit

Must say that outer edge suit looks good, mite just stretch to it.

Cheers
Karl

Outer Edge gets another from me. Just don't expect the 100g undersuit that comes with it to work through the winter
The suit itself however is bloody superb in my opinion. I've done about 70-75 dives in mine now, and its been spot on so far.

I've just ordered a Diving Concepts 'Pinnacle' suit to replace my rather tired Protec. The Protec has been very good and I would have no hesitation in recommending them but I am looking forward to having something a bit warmer for the cold UK winter waters. The Pinnacle is 2mm compressed front loader which has been design by AG. So best of both worlds is my thinking...

I still have an O'three Ri/200 for sale which has hardly seen any use. Would fit a thin bloke who is around the 6' mark. PM me if interested.

The cuff dump is an option and one which AG is an advocate of AFAIK, but I have gone with a shoulder dump as I intend to be switching between suits and don't want to confuse my muscle memory too much

The web site isn't great but it is here:
