Drysuite Membrane v compressed neoprean

[Barbel]

HI
I am looking at getting a drysuite in the near future and am impressed with the comments on here and the price of the Seaskin gear.

My question is which would be best the membrane or the neoprean and what advantage do both have.
I like the front zip option on the membrane as i am very indepeandant. Comes with living on my own all my life. I do not that i plan on diving alone as that just scream danger 2 heads are nearlly always better than one. When checking gear etc.

Look forward to your responses.

hi bri , well this thread will deffo con fuse ya .

i personally dive with a crushed neopreen , and have dived with a membrane in years past . i preferre the comfort and the feel of the crushed neopreen .

in the DIR section they will rec. a membrane

also keeps ya warmer if ya flood

IMHO

if your are gonna dive with twins the better option is the bag . if not a neopreen

im still a new diver, but from hiring leaky suits i can tell you that if you get wet in Neo, you will stay pretty much toasty warm. If you get wet in membrain you will get very cold very quickly.

well, thats what i've found so far.

Not if it fits properly ,I have a lot more flexibility in my DUI crushed neo than I ever had in my Northern Diver membrane.
