Ocean Quest 3mm Supratex Velcro Gloves
Rating: Supratex 3mm Gloves 9/9/2007

Definitely worth the sale price! Bought 3 pair - always wearing out gloves digging in the bottom (upstate NY diver!)- and I plan to donate 1 pr as a doorprize for an upcoming event. The winner will not be disappointed. Velcro strap could be a bit more substantial but it doesnt affect the fit and durability.

MARES 5MM ORIGIN JUMPSUIT WITH ATTACHED HOOD
Rating: Donning.....great! Doffing.........a bit of work! 3/16/2007

The front zipper does allow easier entry than the back zip versions, especially for those of us who are a little plump for our size! I should mention that the XL was as perfect a fit as I could expect for an off the rack item. A bit tight for my plumpness, but it should be perfect in the water. However, trying to get my left arm out of it upon unzipping is a real challenge. It should be easier (I hope) when the suit and I are both wet after a dive. Im 65 and contortions are not my speciality. At 510" and 205 lbs,the XL is a great fit. This will be my 43rd diving season and I look forward to using this suit. 5mm will be a great match for the diving Im planning in the St Lawrence River during the main season when I dont use my drysuit, and the attached hood will be a bonus (it fits great too! - tight enough to help with regulator jaw fatigue). - Bill H
