Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

Wearing the Beuchat Mundial Camo, Elite, or Elaskin as your wetsuit is like driving a Rolls Royce as your car!!!

I have yet to wear the Competition or Equipe models, but these do not have the same ergonomic cut as the higher end models I mentioned above.

I don't know how much these cost in SA, but a lot of aussies find it less expensive to buy Beuchat gear from me and have it shipped down.

Beuchat won't make you a custom suit, but Elios will. I own three custom Elios suits and I recommend these highly.

Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

Drew, shipping cost to SA is $39 vis USPS Priority Mail and would arrive in 8 days.

If you click on the links below, and then click on the photo of the suit it will bring up a much larger detailed photo.

Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

Yes, I can sell an individual jacket or bottom. You can PM me your height, weight, and chest measurement, and I will be able to make a recommendation on the size.

Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

I used this suit for awhile before I sold it at the price I bought it for. I loved it, and the guy that has it now loves it too. The beuchat mundial was crazy comfy, and the 5mm was warm here in high 30's F water.

First, that pic is of my favorite gloves ever. Those are the Beuchat Semi-Dry gloves!

Second, the green camo suit is open cell and the brown camo suit is open cell with titanium coating similiar to the gloves.

Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

I bought a 5mm Mundial camo from jim, and I can spend 5 hours+ in 12 degrees and not get cold. It is rediculously comfy and as soon as a put a little weight back on it'll fit me even better. (The beaver tail is a little loose and the chest and shoulders coz I havent been eating properly and training, but in a few weeks it'll be spot on.) I highly recommend the suit!!!

Re: anyone using beuchat mundial 3.5mm?

Hello!

I'm quite busy to get some lighter suit than my 5 mm Elios taylos made is. Can't wait for two months or something to get taylor made suit, so I'm planning to get Bueuchat reversible 3,5 mm.

Beuchat Reversible [Reversible] - $169.95 : The Freediving Store

Mainly I'd use it for CNF (and probably CWT too) when doing my pb dives and close. This suit atleast looks very cool, but how good is it when diving down to 30 - 40 m with water temperature 12 - 8 degrees??? Any experiences to share? Any alternative no-custom made suits for this?

The camo and the Competition have he same cut. Some of the camo had the silver lining but they are moving away from that. My understanding is all the suits in the near future will just be open cell black neoprene inside.

I have used the equipe andf the prestige, but I prefer the Comp/Camo cut for myself which I find a very good fit for myself.

Sorry for the typo everyone, what I meant was Prestige and Equipe.
