The OMER 3d wetsuit


                                                




I would like to share a unbiased Gear review of the with the readers of the Underground Waterman.



                                             The OMER 3D Wetsuit






My first impression:

Right off the bat you can really feel the quality of construction and overall attention to details of the suit.

For example :

The nylon patches in the ear area , by doing this little step , They prevent that annoying suction / the vacuum affect , during the dive

the neoprene :
is the softest neoprene I have ever felt , it really helps with your diaphragm breathing , its so soft you almost forget your wearing a suit ,

The knee pads : the unique knee pad design provides great protection and the same with out sacrificing flexiblity

The Loading Pad : this is a great pad very soft , perfect amount of protection , and big enough to load on chest or upper abdomen area , so no matter if I’m loading my little Mr. carbon or my Big US tree trunk , the pads always there

 

The Sizing  
its about time that a production wetsuit company let us mix and match the tops and bottoms making it possible to fit almost any diver . I hope more company’s follow suit and this becomes the norm.





                                              The Meat & Potatoes

Ok here’s the review with after 1 year use with approximately 683 Logged Hours of free diving 0-20 meters , with lots of Hikes up and down steep rough and rocky cliffs with a few spills threw out the year , I have to say with all the suits I have owned this by far has been the most comfortable suit I have ever worn , I have had custom suits custom tailored to my body and they don’t come close to the comfort and fit of this suit . I have had to repair the suit once due to a bad fall hiking down a cliff , I repaired with spetton wetsuit glue and the repair seems to be holding fine after 5 months. After the 12 months of abuse I think this suit has served me well , I will keep the suit as a summer suit replace it with another OMER 3D for the winter and spring. So if your looking for the best suit money can buy I would strongly recommend that you give this suit a try
