NeoSport Waterman 7mm Jacket

When I ordered this because of some ambiguity in the description I wasn't sure if I was going to get a 3mm or a 7mm wet suit jacket, it's more like a 3/4 suit than a jacket but anyway ...It's a nice, heavy 7mm suit. It's well designed and as wet suits go it's fairly easy to get into and out of even when it's wet. Step into the closed leg, put the opposite arm in the sleeve, put the next arm in the sleeve, scrootch it around until it sits right and zip it up. It's a little harder to get off wet than it is to put on dry but it's still not so bad I'm cursing it when I have to take it off alone. Of course, if you can get someone to pull the sleeve on the side that zips for you, well it's a lot easier to remove with some help.I had to try it right away when I got it, so I put it on, donned mask, flippers, flipper slippers, snorkel and weight belt and jumped in my pool. I'm sure I looked pretty silly with all that gear on in an 85 degree pool but hey, new stuff gotta try it. I got too hot pretty quick- warm water, sunshine and a black 7mm wet suit will do that.Since then I've used it offshore a few times and it's holding up very well. No seams are pulling out, it's easy to rinse the salt out of it, it hasn't stretched out of shape, and it's nice and warm/comfy in ocean water that's a lot cooler than my pool, the zipper is heavy duty and can stand being pulled on with whatever force it takes to zip it, and it does exactly what a quality suit should do. At the price it's a real bargain for those times when just swim trunks are not enough but a full, serious wet suit is too much.I'm a fairly big guy, 6 feet and 210 lbs so I got the largest size they sold. I'm glad I did, according to the size chart I should have gotten the next size smaller but this fits so well that I'm sure that next smaller size would have pulled and bound places you don't want a suit to do that. I have a fairly long torso for my height so if you're a couple inches taller and "normal" the largest size will likely work OK for you too.I'm very happy with this item, it seems to be made as well or nearly as well as my full BailySuit and it's a lot easier to get in and out of for cool but not cold water.

Construction seems fine. 7mm is thick. Should keep me warm just fine. Only issue is that the legs aren’t very long from the inseam. Maybe 5 inches.

I like the suit alot but I guess you get what you pay for and everything these days seem inflated. This suit has one of the best prices you can get but it leaves you as inflated as I said about cost these days. Even those it's more affordable you may end up paying more in the end. This suit has a boyancy issue in my opinion and leaves me very inflated to the point I can't get under the serface of the water no matter how hard I swim. The XXL version required me to put over 30 pounds of scrap metal in a book bag, only then did I manage to get underwater using a Yamaha Sea Wing 2 sea scooter to add additional thrust. This suit is A GREAT suit when it comes to keeping you warm! No doubt a warm suit but that's alot of additional weight in addition the breathing tank and weights I used to equalize the boyancy for it. You had better have your weight quick disconnect in case of a problem. You won't need BCD to surface when wearing this suit with a quick disconnect diving system! It will bring you back to surface in no time. Good luck with this!

Affordable and easy to put on and take off depending on temperature needs. Make sure to keep your torso length in mind when choosing size from the chart because it does dig in the crotch area a bit bit loosens up after getting soaked

Hard to bottom in ot

i ended up buying both the jacket and waterman bottom from leisurepro and i am definitely not disappointed , the top wouldn't close and zip over the bottom {both were large and i am a very fit individual so the issue wasn't my girth} but leisure pro was very helpful and exchanged the large top for a xl top and paid for the shipping cost for exchange , i recommend you get xl top and large bottom or whatever your size is go 1 up for the jacket- that being said the suit seems more than adequate for cold waters like here in ca where the water reaches 40 and lower where hypothermia is a concern- the kneepads are cheap and will not provide much protection but buying pads or a rubber buffer would be simple enough, the stitching looks solid and all around id say im very pleased for what i spent i recommend to anyone looking for great value and a bang for there buck

This is advertised as a 7 mm wetsuit. But this only becomes a 7 mm wetsuit if you also combine it with the 3 mm long john pants wetsuit. Printed on the wetsuit itself, it says it is a 3 mm wetsuit.Getting over that, this wetsuit works well. Since it has a "shorts" section where your legs fit in, it can be used as a spring suit. And if you combine it with the long john wetsuit, it adds padding to your core for a full wetsuit. Getting it on can be challenging, but after you do it a few times, it becomes easy. It's well built, and works fine for extended periods in the water.Just knocked it down 2 stars because it's advertised as a 7 mm, when it is a 3 mm.

I'm mpressed by the thickness of my this wetsuit. The in only delicate aspect is the zipper. Take your size.

for 6'3", about 220 lbs, 36" waist, 46" chest, this jacket fits a little too loose, length ok, will hopefully get a XXL & see, but from Amazon, not from a seller who charges for returns if it doesn't fit

Received today, haven’t tried in water yet. I got large size and I’m 44 in at chest. It’s very tight. Even a bit difficult to breath. Also has a weird smell. Btw I don’t think it worthy he money. It feels like a easy stitching up of large pieces of foam.

I was at the upper end of the size range suggested and it fits perfectly. I bought the 7mm and the buoyancy is really strong, so be prepared to add weights if you want to dive. It’s really warm; which is really good for people who can’t stand cold water. I can now stay for hours instead of the dive and get-out-of-the-water-as-fast-as-possible of before. The version I received is even better than the one portrayed in the pictures as it has larger panels without as many seams on the back. NeoSport has become my reference for future wetsuit purchases and accessories.
