I would like to know what is the difference in the new suits, Yamamoto 45 and Neoprene NJN?
Anyone?
Thanks

I have no idea but I do know one thing - Elios should be paying DB members for all the answers they provide around their products. Clever way of outsourcing customer support and answering questions their website should answer

(...but at least the suits are great)
 
Well... they answer:

Hi,
the Yamamoto have a soft density rubber, little more soft then NJN.
The NJN have a medium density rubber, perfect also for deep divings into the sea.

At least it makes sense - Yamamoto will be softer and hence more flexible/comfortable. It will be more compressible too by the sound of things, that means that the deeper you go the less effective it will become at keeping you warm. This is true of all but as JNJ is less compressible then it will be more effective at depth than Yamamoto - it will also be more buoyant at depth than Yamamoto.

If you are not going really deep it might be a good idea to stick with Yamamoto (never heard of NJN before so don't know really how different it is).
 
In first place I'll use that suit for pool training. Second place will be deep diving in warm waters like Dahab. It is only 1.5mm thick so density is very marginal.
And my dives aren't deep. Max 50m.
