Hey Guys!!!

Spring is on her way (i'm in sweden...) so i was thinking to get ready and start buying some gear...

I need a 7mm wetsuit since im planning to spear in Norway and i wanna have your opinion about this 2 im about to choose from:

Mares Instinct Camo Brown 7+5 mm ORRRRR

Cressi Tecnica Ultraspan 7mm ????

And should i really be buying things from scubastore.com?
I was reading some bad things about them in a thread here....

Thx guys

I got a good price on a Marea mundial suit...anybody using one?
How about some swedish or norvegian people in here, shall i go with the 6.5 or the 7 mm ?

alex, dont know what your water temps are like but i've gotten away with using a mares instinct camo 5.5 suit-but i also had on a 3-2 mm mercury shortie and a 3 mm vest underneath and our water is about 45 degrees farenheight here in oregon,USA Pacific Ocean. now the way i see it, that would be less neoprene than a 7 mm suit in farmer john style and my core stayed toasty warm. so you might be able to just use a vest under a 5.5 mm jacket and still come out ok or even better than a 7mm mares jacket. anyway just my own experience so far. good luck--mares neoprene is super soft and stretchy, very comfortable stuff. the trick is to make sure it all fits just right! have a good day!---steve

Thx for the reply Steve!
I went for a polosub 5 mm custom made and it worked great.
