Simply AMAZING!!!
I dove in crap conditions Sunday at TC.
The suit fit better than any I have ever used and the flexibility was incredible.
possibly my only complaint was I was hotter than hell in it.
I dove without my gloves to kind of keep cool.
I am soo looking forward to using it in decent conditions.
It was money well spent.
Does anyone else get too hot in their Yazbeck.
mines a 7mm. maybe I should have gone with a 5mm?
What mm do you guys use???

I got the 7mm and I can get damn hot as well....but it sure as hell beats having to quit diving cuz I'm too cold!!

 :smt005

I let some water in the hood to cool down and bring extra fluids out on the yak to stay hydrated cuz I know I'm sweating in there.

Let's dive together soon.

Sincerely,

Jim

I wear a 7mm and also get hot. I sometime let water in to cool down.

Those of us that never wore a different type of suit don't know how good we have it.

Make a follow up post on this thread in about a year. You'll be glad you went 7mm.  :smt002

Freedive suits are made of some the warmest and most flexible neoprene available. Unfortunately, this renders them notoriously delicate and susceptible to compression/creasing over time.

I started out with a 5mm, but as time wore on, the suit compressed and the waters grew colder, and it was time for a change.

Ey tote , combination of the conditionor and the sun make me feel all nasty n hot , try running the water hose on your head and face and it might cool ya down a bit.

And since waterhoses are only available at timber cove , bring a jug of water with you if diving somewhere else :smt002

I have several suits you can use as a comparison if ya really want to know.  :smt044
Thanks for the info guys. I was thinking about getting a 5mm for the 'warmer' months but after reading what you guys said I'll stick it out with the 7.  :smt002
Again, day and night difference.
Kind of pissed I waited so long.    :smt011:smt044

One thing to note - the better you get at diving, the colder you'll get.  :)

Longer and deeper dives below the thermocline... with lowered metabolic rates... equate to getting chilled a lot quicker.  ;)



But ya, love my Yazbeck suits.   :smt004
