This is a great wetsuit. All the details.... articulated bend points for elbows and knees. Silicone tread on butt to stay put. Zippers at arms and legs to make it easier to get into. Half zip at neck to adjust neck fit. Love this wetsuit.

Warm but floaty.
I have used this suit on about 45 dives so far around Bonaire. It is the suit of choice for many of the instructors and dive masters on the island. It is very warm in the water, which is good for me, no issues there. On land it is hot! I have to doff it after exit and quick! This is one well insulated 3.5 suit. Easy enough to get on and off, lots of zippers to play with. One issue I have with the suit is that it is floaty. it traps a lot of air. In my old suits I was perfectly buoyant with 10 lbs and no air in my BCD. Now I have to add weight to go down. I have had to add 2 lbs to descend. After the suit compresses at depth it becomes less buoyant and I have to add air to to remain neutral. Which uses air and is a distraction. Some with the suit say the floatiness works out after a while, but mine has yet to. Maybe next trip.

Love the zippers!
I like this style because of all the zippers; neck, wrists and legs. Makes it easy to take on and off. I ordered the same size (ladies medium) as my 10yr old WaterProof 3 ml and this felt larger, even though I weight a bit more than I did 10 yrs ago. Wish I'd ordered a size smaller.

Good fit. Flexible. Excellent for Tropical SCUBA.
Not the easiest to get into and out of. MT was a good fit for this 6’-1”, 165 lbs body. Suit was very flexible. I tend to feel colder than most when diving. This suit was perfect for SCUBA in surf temps of 78-80 F in Belize.

Excrllence in design and build quality.
I discovered the Waterproof line of suits during an endeavor to find a 3mm one peice that I could zip when diving solo w/o becoming an contortionist. Once I had the 3mm WP in my possesion and found that I could easily zip, I looked at the details that made this possible and found a myriad of other desireable details. I immediately bought the 5mm version and I am very pleased w both. These are very wrll designed and fabricated wetsuits.

Great fit and very warm for a 3mm
This suit is well made and loaded with features. I love the expanded sizing offered. I'm hard to fit in some scuba suit lines. This is the best 3mm suit I've owned in 33 years of diving. Sizing chart is spot on.

Great suit
Best wetsuit you can buy. I usually run cold even in tropics but went 3mm to try it. 80 degree water for over an hour and very warm and comfortable. Even one dive I forgot to ship neck. Fits well and moved well. Passing on back was nice as well. Only issue I ran into was just a bit short on me. I am 5 11 so should have went talk size but none in stock and needed suit right away.

Size M too small
I bought this on the recommendation of another diver. I liked the construction and style, but it's too small. I'm 5'9", 160lbs, about 40" chest, 34" waist -- pretty average. I'm writing this review to help others with fit.

Fits like a glove
I've only rented wetsuits before purchasing this one. They usually didn't quite fit right, not being made for a taller skinnier person. This wetsuit fit me perfectly. Previously only XL wetsuits fit me, but were very loose around the waist. The Medium Large Tall is all I needed with this one. Its VERY important to go by the sizing chart.
Some of the features are really nice, like the small front zipper to loosen the neck when you are waiting on the boat, and the ankle and wrist zippers provide a nice seal for your boots and gloves and make it much easier to put the suit on and take it off.

Waterproof 3.5mm Wetsuit
Wanted to wear/use the suit for a few seasons in various conditions before writing this review. This is a high quality product that is quite comfortable both in and out of the water, flexible in the right places, warm, and rugged. Very flexible system when coupled with lavacore vest and shorts underneath to extend comfort into colder waters. Like most things in life, it's a little more pricy at the front end, but delivers and looks like it will wear well for years to come. Would definitely buy again.

My most favorite wetsuit ever
Warm, flexible, durable and the pink trim is fun too. I love this suit. Buy it. You won't be sorry. It's pretty true to size and the fact that it comes in a shorter person's size is amazing.

knee pads flake
Love this suit but disappointed that the knee pads flaked almost on the first dive. Suit is still functional but the knee pad issue was bothersome for such a well made wetsuit. Love the fit and look. I have a 3mm, a 5mm and a 7mm. Only the 3mm flaked. Go figure.

Little pricey but worth every penny
I bought this as a replacement for my SeaQuest 3mm that I have been using since 1995.
This suit is a true to size. I got it in medium. I'm 5ft 5in 160lbs and it fits fine. Not to tiight and the zippers make it easy getting it on and off in a hurry. I originally tried the subgear 3mm definition in grey. It was a fight getting it on and off. It was like trying to put on Plastic Man or that guy from the Fantastic 4. No zippers in the wrist and ankles. I sent it back and the W3 was recommended to me and the rest is history. This is a great suit for those deep summer dives in the Gulf at the Flower Banks. The W3 and all my gear I use 12 pound for neutral buoyancy in salt water and 8lbs in fresh water. The zipper cuffs in the wrist and ankles make it easy for getting it on and off. They allow the suit to fit easy over gloves and boots. This suit is well constructed and I am buying another one just in case they quit making them. I will probable replace all my wetsuits with this series. I think Waterproof is my new brand.

Not what I expected
Knee pads split on first dive, the "waffle" lining is extremely uncomfortable and chafing. Will definitely be trying to return this product!

the best feting wet suit that i had!
using the suit on daly basis. very easy to put on and take it off. also, very good looking suit, maybe henderson black max only, from some 25 years ago can be matched with the cut and design.

Nice wetsuit
This suit is a bit snug and a little more difficult to get on because of the lack of stretch. However once its there it is comfortable and durable. I really like the zippers. Only two things I would change. There is a hard plastic closure on the back of the neck that rubs and the knees started flaking off my first dive.

Great suit - great size options
The suit is great. I'm 6'2", 190lbs, with a 44" chest and 33" waist and I needed the Large Tall size. Fit was very snug across shoulders but good everywhere else.

Great suit with great sizes
The suit is very durable and at 3.5 will be extra warm for long pool sessions in a cool college lap pool. I am 6'2" tall and 190lbs with a 44" chest and 33" waist and the large tall fit very well across most of the body although a bit snug in the shoulders till it gets worked out a bit. The large was too short in the arms and legs and made the shoulders extra tight.

Amazingly comfortable, warm wetsuit
This is the 4th Waterproof wetsuit I own. I'm 5' 8", 185 pounds and have "thick bones". A number of years ago on the second week of a liveaboard diving with a "stretchy" highly rated wetsuit, I was incredibly sore trying to pull the suit over my hands and feet 4 to 5 times a day. I went looking for wrist and ankle zippers. The Waterproof 5mm I bought was great, but eventually started to compress. Subsequently I've bought another 5mm W2, a 7mm W2 and now this 3.5 W3. They are easy to pull on and off. The pleating of the interior material really does stop water flow and I can wear a lighter wetsuit for temp than I normally would. I'm an experienced recreational diver, now over 800 dives from Indonesia to Bonaire. I can't recommend a wetsuit more highly than this Waterproof and the equivalent 5 and 7 mm versions!!!

Run way small
All my other equipment and wetsuits are size lg, I bought this off the size chart so I ordered an XL got it and to short in torso and shoulders and arm diameter. Made for short narrow shoulder, skinny armed people. I am 5'10" 200lbs not stocky but average build with a bit of a belly. This seems to be cut for a slim person with a short torso and very skinny arms. Ended up with a 2xl which is ok in fit now but a bit large in the chest area so I have looseness in the arm pit and crotch area. Nice product well made just made for smaller frames, one of the reasons is it is a 3.5mm and the material used does not stretch like most other mfg.

Made for small framed women
Had to send back as sizing is way small and doesn't stretch very much like other neos on the market. Recommend going with next larger size on the size chart. Well made just too small in the sizing.

Suit for stickman
After trying the L. I tried the XL, it might have been a better fit if I could put it on. But like the L, I could not pull it over my forearms, which are well within the normal range. The size charts are worthless. And the arms must be improperly designed. Customer service was clueless so I abandoned any hope that an XXL might work. Naturally, the website wasn't working properly the day I called, so I couldn't even think of looking for another suit.
Interestingly because the suit seems well made, if I could find one that fit, I might try it, but since I still have to repack the XL to return it, that might be awhile.

Great suit
Waterproof is a very well made brand of wetsuit. It conforms very well to body joints, which prevents one from looking and moving like the Michelin man.
I compared this suit to other "brand name" manufacturers 5mm styles (incl Hen*#*son) and for the money, this was my clear choice.
I have over 1700 dives worth of experience in knowing what I need in a wetsuit.
