For many people, the winter season is a time for diving to be dormant, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great time to pick up new SCUBA gear. If you’re in the market for a new or additional wetsuit, LeisurePro has many wetsuits to fit any style and budget. Most people’s spending is pretty restricted during the holiday season, so we want to help you with a range of wetsuits that can fit even the most frugal of budgets. Here are three affordable wetsuits without skimping on quality craftsmanship.
Two Great Options for Wetsuits Under $200
Akona Quantum Stretch Women’s 3mm Jumpsuit
For comfortable, warm water diving and using materials that don’t rely on fossil fuels, ladies can rely on the Quantum Stretch 3mm jumpsuit from Akona. This wetsuit is constructed from neoprene, which is 99.7 percent derived from limestone rather than petroleum, resulting in a primarily eco-friendly material. It is fitted with a full-length molded zipper and a marine-grade brass slider to minimize corrosion and increase strength, while the zipper dam is “skin out” to create a better seal and reduce water flushing. Durable knee pads ensure the suit and your body stay free from abrasion, and each seam is both glued and sewn for optimum durability. Style and function never cost so little! A limited 24-month warranty covers it. Also available in men’s.
Cressi Castoro Men’s 5mm Jumpsuit
While men may not claim to care much about aesthetics, there is little doubt that the cut and style of the Cressi Castoro 5mm jumpsuit will appeal to the most stylishly uncaring of men. This jumpsuit is designed to keep you warm in the most brisk water temperatures and is constructed from double-layered 5mm neoprene. Featuring Cressi’s Aquastop system on the wrists, ankles, and zipper seal, you can rest assured this feature will provide a better seal and more warmth than a typical seal. Power Tex additionally protects both shoulder and knees, while the suit’s legs are anatomically formed to provide more efficient finning. Also available in women’s.
