Is it a new PoloSub one?

I need a new suit, camo (obviously ), 6/7mm, open cell inner and nylon outer. Should I go PoloSub or Elios?

Well, I'm sure Dario will have an opinion on this, but one thing I will say is that Elios don't provide suits with a pissette. My Polo Sub has a pissette and I must say it's so nice not smelling toilet fresh after you've been in the water for a few hours. :yack

 

[Broseidon]

Hmm... that's a good point!

You've had both Elios & Polosub, apart from the Pissete, is there any difference or are they just basically the same thing with a different brand name?

 

[manalive!]

I do like both suits, both are camo open cell with a nylon outer, the Elios is a 5mm, the polosub is a 7mm. The polosub is probably softer and more comfortable, but there isn't really a lot in it. I've just inspected both suits and I'd say that the polosub is slightly better quality, so if I was going to recommend one then the polosub probably edges it. (Dario, please send the cheque)

 

[Broseidon]

Thanks mate, that helps! Can I ask how much you paid for the PoloSub?

 

[manalive!]

I can't remember, just shy of £300 I think, but I did have chest loading pad, knee and elbow pads and a pissette. The prices are pretty straight to calculate forward, on the polosub website.

 

[Broseidon]

Ouch! I paid £320 including shipping for TWO made to measure Elios suits with loading pads etc... I'll have to see how tight I'm feeling in January

I presume your suit was more expensive than normal due to the vastness of your pissette? You'll need an extra 2kg of lead to sink it rofl

 

[manalive!]

Yes, you got it, basically, I have a three legged pair of trousers.

I've just put the suit details in to the polosub website, the price comes out as 325euros.

I can't express my opinion for two reasons: I have a interest and I have never had Elios in my life. However, I can tell you that most of the customers refer me that the Polo Sub is the best suit they have ever had (most of them had a Elios before). The price can vary a lot depending on suit and add-ons (Paul bought the best lined open-cell we have, in full 7mm and with all the possible add-ons rofl). When you need to buy drop me a message. They make good suits and they are a solid company with great customer service. It is a good option.

(Paul I send you the check the usual way) roflroflrofl rofl

Polo sub told me they used a bean to shape your pissete.

Watch it Dario, I know where you live ......... under the sea around North Wales

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Best thing I've read all week! rofl

I'll give you a shout when I want to order mate, I've just been trying to look at the new Elios website, it's somehow even more useless that their last one.

Looks like I'll be rocking a PoloSub next season. Have you got any photos of the "Camouflage n17" pattern? I can't decide if it looks awesome or stupid!

Which one did you get Paul / Ian?

 

[manalive!]

I got the N17, pictures attached.

 

[Broseidon]

Cheers mate, thanks for that! It looks pretty cool doesn't it! Makes the Elios look a little old fashioned.
