Product is as expected. I have had nearly a dozen dives in freshwater and saltwater and the suit is holding up very well.
Great Product Worth the money!

It lasted two winter seasons in the pool wearing it 3 days a week in the winter in Florida. It stated failing at the neck which was a little annoying and became thin in the rear end, but after two winters the zipper in the back split from the fabric the entire length of the zipper. As I wear the suit tight.
I bought two more to replace it because I really put it thru a ringer wearing as often as I did. I highly recommend this
The Spirit is a 3mm Shorty Wetsuit offers a short sleeve/short leg design. The Spirit is ideal for warm water diving or snorkeling, as well as water skiing, jet skiing, swimming, or any other water sport. It is also ideal for use in swimming pools and any other time when a bathing suit does not provide enough insulation. Great for layering. Constructed from 3mm titanium lined nylon 2 neoprene rubber throughout, with locking rear entry zipper to prevent unintended opening, smooth-skin mandarin collar with hook and loop closure provides a snug and comfortable barrier against water entry and 3mm zipper flap with built-in key pocket. Rear zipper entry is equipped with a pull tab leash for easy self-donning and doffing. All seams are flatlock sewn to provide greater comfort and flexibility and smooth skin outer mesh finish on chest and back panel provides additional grip on surfboards, boogey boards, etc. and reduces the effect of wind chill. Suit is black/gray in color and available in multiple sizes.

in between medium and medium large should I go larger or smaller?
JEFF K
I am 6-4 and 235, bough the 2xx that fits me good. I had bought a xl before and it was a little tight better to go 1 size up than too tight.
JAMES H
Due to the thinness of this suit you could really go either way, just depends on if you prefer snug or loose, I personally like snug to prevent excess water exchange.
R S
I can't tell you because this company could not come through on the delivery as promised. I would seek another vendor.
Paul K
I would go larger
KRIS B
Smaller! You want it to be tight.
Nick F
I would go larger. I'm middle of large and it's nice and snug.
WILLIAM H
I would go with the large, in case of weight gain, compression, and ease of donning and removal.
Warmth really isn't too much of a factor if you are just diving in a shorty .

I just bought a Pinnacle 3mm Spirit Shortie. Why is the neck not sewn, but left unfinished?
BILL T
I can not say this is the reason but I had a problem where the neck was to tight. When I looked up it compressed my carotid artery causing dizziness. Spoke to my doctor about it and he indicated it was very common with people that wore shirts that were too tight at the neck. Since then I have no problems.
Mark H
I think you're referring to the very top which is neoprene but not hemmed. If that's so, I'd suggest it's to comfort so it won't rub. Mine performs splendidly.

Many manufacturers leave the neck like that, otherwise it could cause irritation when worn.

Why Did You Choose This?
JOHN A
Fit and staff recommendation.
ALBERT S
I will use this for scuba diving in Florida and Baja California Sur, Mexico when the water temperature is warm enough.
I also like the ease of donning a shortie compared to a full suit.
I believe Pinnacle makes good products.
Juan L
time to replace my old one, which lasted long
ALLEN K
Needed some thermal protection for diving in the tropics and I needed a wetsuit that would fit a shorter person.
STEPHEN K
I liked the fit and feel of my previous Pinnacle wetsuit.
