Hi harpune,

I had one lycra wetsuit (Omer top lycra) and it totally sucked!!
It lost the color very quickly, in two months the pants where almost white. Lycra loses color very quickly when exposed to sun, saltwater and pee. Eh!
Lycra only in very dark color!

What I think its even worse is that lycra doesn't stick very well to neoprene and the lycra lining started to came apart from the neoprene. I load my small guns on the belly and the lining in that area was completely separated from the neoprene.
Lycra is also very fragile when compared to nylon-jersey.

I don't know if the "technology" as improved and this problems where minimized but I would stay away from any full lycra wetsuit.

Cheers,
Rui
