simple answer! Membrane suits have no insulating properties
themselves so must be worn with other clothing. However,
they tend to be the more comfortable to wear for long
periods than neoprene suits.

or non breathable suits?
Breathable
are more comfortable out of the water but do not perform
well at depths.

Heat-taped
or hand-taped seams?
Hand-taping
is more expensive and less flexible, but is much more
reliable and durable.

We
can make seams dry without it but urethane gives amazing
long term strength and durability.

a 3mm compressed suit offers the same insulation as
a 7mm conventional suit but with greater flexibility.

seal are warmer, slightly more comfortable an durable,
latex seals are easier to put on, give a more watertight

sox and ankle seals are a vary important consideration
when specifying a suit and should be matched with the
