Wetsuit review

[The Freediver]

Well, since my diving was really suffering from lack of warmth I had to go and buy a new suit. I didn't want to spend a lot so I bought the picasso on sale with freedive shop online. It's the grey one thats a whopping 105$!!! Bottom line stoked for the money. Very warm, but doesn't have any knee pads or elbow. Looks like it may not be great for shorediving rocky areas, but for all else. Great suit! Something I never considered and may come as a BIG help to many that share the same issue with pissing in your wetsuit. It has the pants underneath and not the overalls. This means that you can just drop them down a bit and got #1 or even #2 without taking you top off!! Awesome perk! Hope this may help someone:thumps:

When I bought my Picasso two piece suits, I always opted for the regular pants not the overalls for that very reason.

I almost bought that same suit

Bought the same suit, have had it out for one dive and Santa Cruz and Anacapa and it worked well. Can't beat $105.

Ben,

I also recently purchased the suit (my first new suit!). I'll write a complete review later, after I get a few dives on it.

Testing it out today!

Nice! Oh, and WTH man. You said you wanted me to "get you on a boat" and you never even call me back. You missed some good trips man! Hit me up

How accurate is the picasso sizing chart compared to the fit of the suit. I've tried on a few brands that felt way smaller than the size they were spec'd at.

...you called?


Must have missed it, me and cell phones have a very bad relationship.

I had one of those in green a while back. Mine was the yamamoto rubber, I think picasso changed rubber? Was a good suit for the price. Have been thinking about getting another, at that price!

If you want knee pads get an old pair of neaoprene waders and cut the knee pads out of them. Epoxy them to your wetsuit.

i do this with my all my wetsuits even though they already have knee pads. Make the life of my wetsuit last much longer.

Good to know, thanks!

Took mine out yesterday for a test dive. Bought a second suit this morning.

In quick sum, it's an excellent suit for the money. I'm considering getting another as we speak.

IT was very warm, easy to get into/out of, and the off-the-rack sizing fit me pretty much dead on. The color also looks fantastic underwater.

My biggest negative observation was how fragile the suit feels on the interior. I haven't had anything rip yet, but it feels very fragile.

Makes you look like like just another defenseless harbor seal.
