Scuba Gear Reviews by Michael A Kerwin

Price was what attracted me. I purchased them for my 8 year old son. The seems are only glued so they began to pull apart right away. After the first use they had seperated at the seam on 2 fingers. Soft material is very warm, but construction quality is weak. I have glued them several times in several places. I will get a diffent kind, brand when these wear out, which wont be that long.

I do a lot of exploring along rivers. Part hike part swim. I needed a reasonably priced suit that keeps me warm but is flexible to hike in. Does the job great. Warm, easy to put on and take off. Would buy again. Scuba.com sent it right away. If you need wetsuits or diving gear. Get it at scuba.com! Mike Kerwin

This hood fit very well. Good for swimming surfing. The front of the hood is a little short, but because of this it offers good visibility. Velcro sturdy, stitching is good.

My son is 7. I purchased a shorty suit of the same brand last season. This is a well made suit, zipper is well made, he is warm and the price was great.

These gloves are sturdy, stitching is good. Running just a little small for me, but great product for the price. Would buy again. As usual scuba.com gave very quick delivery and great service... Mike

This suit is Warm! No doubt about it. Well made, stiching is clean and tight. Easy on easy to take off. My only complaint it the zipper takes a lot of effort to zip up. The flap that feeps the water from comming through the zipper area gets cought and then you have to unzip and rezip. Other wise this is a great suit. I am going to encourage my fiancee to by a ladies version so we both can be warm in the ocean and river. Mike

These gloves have fingertips in them. They are not open on the end. I use them to snorkel and body surf in the Pacific. I am pleased with the overall performance. They are not super warm being only 2 mm but do keep my hands warm for a couple of hours. The gloves are flexible enough for me to pick objects up off the bottom. I can really swim fast with these on. I do have some abraisions on these gloves already, but for the price they are good quality. I will buy another pair when these wear out. and I will buy them from scuba.com

I purchased a pair of these for myself, then the rest of my family. The gloves are 2 mm so they are not super warm. I body surf and snorkel in the Pacific Ocean. For swimming they are great. lots of power to catch the waves or swim down and grab a crab off the bottom. I do have some abrasions on my gloves already, but for the price they are very good.

Great product for the price. Well constructed. Comfortable. Price is great because he will quickly grow out of it, so not much invested to buy a larger one next season.
