'..Heiwa but it wasn't as pliable or stretchy as..'
Me too but Heiwa medium density, even in 3mm, is just about bullet proof and after 200 dive days it still has almost the same buoyancy as new.
Yeah, my suit has been with me a while, and it's still like new! Damn. I was hoping the hood would stretch out just a teeny weeny bit, it feels too small for my head!
