wetsuit recommendations for warm water
Sooo I have a rob allen 2mm wetsuit that I use for warmer water daving, and it is a pain in the ass to put on and take off, much harder than the mako 3mm that I have (open cell with lube)
Can anyone recoment nothing else that is easy to put on and take off? I am 6'2 215lbs the rob allen is an XL for comparison |

For maybe 78 to 83 degrees, I wear the MAKO 2 mm, Yamamoto one piece suit. It is reversible with green camo nylon on one side and blue camo on the other. I will wear the matching (reversible) 2 mm hood and if it is really warm, I wear the matching lycra hood. The suit is very stretchy and comfortable and with the back zipper and yamamoto rubber it is very easy to pop in and out. I wear the XXL at 225 lbs. If it is 85 degrees or more a rash guard is nice. http://www.makospearguns.com/Camo-Sp...mm-p/m1ybg.htm

Re: wetsuit recommendations for warm water
Could try out a thin open cell suit that you can use lube on like your 3mm maybe? Not many out there that are high enough quality to hold up but they are out there. The cheap ones don't last long. Yazbeck makes an exceptionally good one.

Have you tried the new Riffe Digitek suit? It's perfect for taller guys and they're super durable.

Re: wetsuit recommendations for warm water
I combine a 3 mm open cell with a 2 piece hooded lycra rash guard. I don't like the feeling of a closed cell in my skin.
