Hi Guys. I'm planning to get a new Oceaner Freediving suit next year. I'm trying to solicit your ideas or experience on how resistant these wetsuits are against chlorine in the pool.

Competitive Freediving Wetsuits

I have the feeling that the nylon lining on the regular spearfishing suits is the part that soaked up the chlorine and leaving a yucky white marks when they dry, even after rinsing and soaking it with regular water.

If these freediving suits are both smooth in and out, i.e. no nylon linings, then it should be quite chlorine resistant?

Thanks in advance!
 
my orca suits are yamamoto, lined with lycra, and they have held up for years. take them off in the shower after the pool session and rinse them out.
 
Just a heads up, the chlorine might change the colour of the glue used to join the pieces of neoprene on your suit... usually from black to a gross yellow-brown colour.
