I ordered a custom Elios Sub freediving suit, 5mm, Yamamoto neoprene and it is quite simply the best and warmest suit I have ever worn.
Reinforced arms and crotch, comfortable and effective seals at wrist, arms and face, chin-pocket (I can actual have an intelligible conversation with my suit on), and the best custom fit ever. Elios seems to have figured out what some wetsuit manufacturers still struggle to achieve: how to translate body measurements into a form-fitting suit. Picasso is still lacking in that department, despite the high cost of getting a custom suit. Custom fitting makes the biggest difference in warmth. I wish I had this suit during the winter.
Elios suits are cheap, too. $400 CAD with the shipping and their service is exceptional.
Other wetsuit manufacturers have a new competitor....
(no, I'm not sponsored by Elios, I wish!!!!)
