[zaratustra]

Hi guys. i am new here

I'm going to buy a wetsuit for up to 200 euro. Could You give me any advice.
i don't want to buy one with a camuflage.
i was looking at Omer Cayman Wetsuit - 5.0mm
does anyone have that one. is it any good?
Thanks

Amongst others i have a cayman 5mm.
Good suit and quite stretchy. Has a high chest that is also 5mm giving it a tighter fit for its size across the chest than my other omers in the same size.

But, well made and so far, no problems. Inside your budget too.

is there any sense to buy it online ? i'm afraid that i'll get a wrong size.
In Ireland here is no place to buy a wet suit for freediving so i'm forced
to buy one from internet.

I get my stuff locally from apnea jersey.
I usually take an omer 5.

The cayman is a 5 and its just a fraction tighter across the chest than my mimetic 5mm.

This said, it hasn't gotton in the way and any tightness can be adjusted by sliding the suit around a bit. Its just that the suit has a more stretchy material than my mimetic or my 7mm cressi.

On the plus side, its very warm and the high chest gives extra padding for gun loading etc.
Its reinforced in all the right places and it doesn't seem to compress overly at depths that i dive (upto 20 meters). My mimetic goes heavier at over 10 meters than the cayman as an example and the cayman doesn't seem to blow bubbles during a dive like my other suits. I'm unsure as to the actual neoprene used but like i said, its a comfortably close fitting 5mm size 5 which i suppose is a goos thing.

The area under the chin has a little more play making it easier to get the head into the chest on descent without it feeling tight.

PS:

Try any omer or cressi, even a scuba suit and the italian sizes are the same.
I take a 5 in both omer and cressi.

I'm told that french sizes are different. However, i cannot remember which way around it goes.
Beuchat for instance would be a different size for me.
