T2 CHILLPROOF SUIT CHEST ZIP - MENS

I just recently purchased the suit, it was met with some interest in the group I was diving with all were eager to find out if it could really withstand the cold. I used in on 2 dives in 22 degrees celsius water just by itself and it was fine temperature wise, I didn't feel cold at all. The buoyancy overall was fine, I couldn't really tell if it made a difference, I had my usual weight set up and had some other new equipment on as well and had a comfortable couple of dives.

-I purchased this product for travel diving.

-I used it in Thailand Jan 2025 with water temperatures around 26 to 28 degrees C.

-I dived 4 dives every day with the last dive as a night dive. (16 dives in a row)

-This product kept me very warm and I was hugely impressed with its performance.

-Bonus with the product is it weighs a fraction of the weight of a wetsuit at approx 900 grams saving on luggage weight.

-Huge bonus is it is negative buoyant so I only had to use 1.6kgs of weight rather than the typical 6kgs I would normally use. (My body weight is 75kgs)

-My air consumption was better with a SAC rate of approx 0.9 but this will get better the more I get used to the negative buoyancy and shallower breathing required.

-It made it easier as a photographer to hover over the reef to take photos and also be steady enough for macro photography.

-It also dried very quickly ready for travel again.

-I would highly recommend this product to divers in warm water.

I purchased the T2 Chillproof suit and tried it for scuba diving recently, I did 2 x 19m dives in the suit @ 22°C, the suit was easy to put on and take off, when putchasing I followed the recommendations of buying a size below the size of wetsuit I normally wear, I was very happy with the fit and comfort.

I did a boat entry which was a bit apprehensive jumping in due to not wearing it before and after getting over the initial shock of water the suit did its job, through out the dives I was comfortable however the added bonus for me was the neutral buoyancy and how much weights I managed to drop and probably could have dropped another kilo or so, others on the dive felt the cold half way through the second dive while I carried on, this would have gotten 5 stars, however I dis not feel like it was equivalent to a 4/5mm as advertised however it was more like a 3/4mm, I would have to reassess in water temp less than 22°C, very happy with the purchase

I have just used the wetsuit to scuba dive in18 deg C for 35 mins with T2 hood and found it to be warm enough. It was easy to put on and take off. It is neutrally buoyant. It has a useful arm pocket and leg pocket. Nee pad are also good idea. Nice one Sharkskin. Straight in washing machine with wetsuit wash.

Oh also completed my 100 dives.
