Buying Dive Skin?

Question

I wanted to get something to cover me up, but i dont want to spend a lot of money on a wetsuit. I saw that there are dive skin wetsuit, made of lycra. I was wondering, if any one has one, how they fit and feel, and how i put it on.

Also, where can i buy one off a website, preferably one that delivers to the UK

Answer 1

There is a reason Lycra suits are less expensive than Neoprene.  Neoprene will keep you not only comfortable, but ALIVE!  If you are surfing in the UK, then it must be pretty freaking cold!  You will need a 3-5mm wet suit to keep those insane "ice cream" headaches at bay.  Don't skimp out, just bite the bullet, and get a neoprene wet suit. It'll keep you warm, and you won't look like an *** while you're pulling off the move of the day in front of Surfer Magazines photographer with ice burgs in the background! :0)

Answer 2

Don't expect a lot warmth out of a lycra suit.  If you're in the UK you are gonna need some neoprene brother.

Answer 3

shouldn't be to hard to find. You wear it just like a wet suit, not sure why you would need this cause they are kinda stupid looking. but maybe you have a good reason.  most water sport supply mags have them. good luck.
