I like the quality, but too small in the chest, I am returning it for the next size up.

This is my second merino suit. The other one was almost 9 years old and was time to take it out of its misery. This suit is worlds apart from the last generation. This newer material makes it so much easier to don suit. I just wished they used more of the merino on the inside of the suit, but that might be as a result of the stretchier fabric. Otherwise it’s a very well made suit. As far as warmth it did it’s job. Intend to be colder than most, so I usually layer my suit with some liner during the early months of summer. For the average person this suit should keep you easily warm. The material looks like it will hold up well and after 20 dives the suit looks great. Even breaks in very well also. As for LeisurePro they delivered the item fast and even helped me get a custom size as a final sale. These guys are excellent. I was able to get a Large Short from the manufacturer, since the large was too long. The fit made the difference and I’m happy I made the switch. Can not say enough about LeisurePro and their customer service. Overall I’m married to these suits and it looks like they have gotten better in their development with the newer material. Pinnacle for life.

I haven't dove my new Pinnacle yet, but I have owned many pinnacles before this one. I have just purchased this one to replace the one I have worn out. When I say worn out, I mean the neoprene is so crushed that it would barely float in the rinse tub after diving. The suit survived numerous long deep dives. ( three to four hour rebreather dives). The best thing I like is the range of stock suit sizes. I wear a "king 2" and it fits me perfect. I don't have to over stress the suit seams to put it on or off, therefore the seams last the life of the suit. The spine pad does a good job of keeping water flushing to a minimum. The leg zippers make putting the suit on and taking it off a lot easier. The 3 mm Is agood tropical weight suit for temps into the upper 70s, then I go to a 5 mil down into the upper 60s. After that it's drysuit time for me.

Suit fits like a glove! The ankle zips are necessary for my bigger than usual calves. I did get an abrasion on my ankles after 30 dives but I was diving 5 dives a day with low top Tusa shoes. I left the ankle zips loosely zipped and it solved the problem. No water flows through the neck or wrists and The neck was snug but not “choking”.

I've had this suit for a month now and so far there's nothing bad I can say about it at all. I'm going through an OWSI course and dive all weekend every weekend and have yet to see any wear on the suit. It fits well to size and dons and doffs easily. The lining is awesome! I hear complaints from other divers wearing thicker suits about being cold. Meanwhile I'm still nice and toasty. I also bought a 5mm for the winter and have little doubt it will get the job done with the addition of a hood. Would certainly recommend the purchase.

So far so good. The suit size chart was pretty spot on. Fit was snug but, not too tight. The lining makes it go on very easily and is great for keeping you warm. Have been in the Atlantic with it for three dives and spend a day in the pool with students. I stayed nice and toasty in 75~77* water the entire time as I heard complaints from other divers about getting chilly. Would certainly recommend and will be purchasing a thicker one for the winter.

This wetsuit is fantastic! It's extremely stretchy which makes putting it on easy. It's almost too stretchy at times, like when I'm trying to pull on the legs and just end up stretching the wetsuit! I'm not sure how much warmth the merino lining adds, but it is a very warm suit and the wrist and leg seals work well to keep water inflow to a minimum. One thing to note is that the merino lining can snag on the velcro neck flap, so I tend to be a little bit more careful about donning and doffing this wetsuit than some cheaper options. On the whole I think it's well worth it! I'm 5' 9" and ~160lb, and a medium fits great.

Highly Recommend. It is the easiest suit to put on. I had a recent back injury and could not do the normal struggling with pulling on or off a wetsuit. I have very thick calves that always made suits hard to put on from the start. I'm 5'10", 160 lb, and the ML fit perfectly although chest is snug. The combination of ankle zipper, smooth wool interior, and highly elastic material makes putting on easy. Zipper and flaps around zippers well designed so you can't knick yourself and it seems like it will last but I have only used the suit for 30 dives so far. The arms don't have zippers but the smooth wool interior and elastic material make the arms easy to put on too. For me, it was much easier to put on the ML Pinnacle XT than the looser fitting 3 mm Aqualung L without ankle zippers. This suit appears well made, with no seam wear evident after 30 dives. The collar is folded back and excellent for no leaks at the neck without feeling too tight. Wetsuit is warm to wear but I was diving warm water so I can't say it is better than any other 3 mm wetsuit for warmth. Overall great wetsuit without breaking the bank.

This wetsuit with the Merino Wool is unlike any other product I have used. Definitely worth a little more to get a superior suit!
