Dear world,
Just want to open this up for comments on Elios Outer Linings.
I'm close to sealing-the deal on a new suit, but just can't decide on the outer lining.
Slickskin/Freedown isn't an option because I need a bit of durability (boat/beach/getting changed in carpark etc) but at the same time, don't want to sacrifice my stretch and elasticity to have something that's built like a tank.
Would love to hear from people who have hands on experience with multiple linings.
Based on Elios info, this the specs they have presented me:
ELASTICITY:
Superstretch 500%
Superelastic 450%
Kanoko 400%
Hydrorepellent 400%
DURABILITY
Kanoko 90%
Superstretch 80%
Hydrorepellent 75%
Superelastic 70%
My first gut feeling is to go with Superstretch.. but I'm at a dilemma because I'd love a grey suit and that only comes in Hydrorepellent !
Suit will be 5mm Open Cell, Yamamoto 45 (or Heiwa Soft), used once per week for social free diving, depths from 5 - 20m.
Let's hear the opinions!
