Hello nice people
couldn't fin anything on this, so i ask you: has anybody tried the Sailfish brand triathlon wetsuit, for freediving?

I am particularly interested in the Edge L/S (long sleeves) and the Atlantic models, both 2mm thick
I am not interested in suits with 4 or 5mm buoyancy panels

I'd use it 90% of the time for keep me from freezin up while teaching (including a bit of DYN training), and 10% of the time for not-so-deep dives (10-40m) in warm waters
I'd like to know how it fits, especially if the neck is waterproof (as much as a one-piece wetsuit can be, of course)
I'd like to know what you think about the durability of the suit: i'm throwing away a 10 years old Orca RS1, that did last much, much more than it was supposed to

Any other comment is highly appreciated

Thank you very much in advance
