Shopper : Does it have pocket?darrick c : Hello, no this does not come with a pocket, that would be an add-on charge: <a href="https://www.scuba.com/p-wpgw30tap/waterproof-zippered-accessory-pocket-for-w30-full-suits?origterm=wpgw30tap&searchredirect=true" target="_blank">https://www.scuba.com/p-wpgw30tap/waterproof-zippered-accessory-pocket-for-w30-full-suits?origterm=wpgw30tap&searchredirect=true.</a>CARL K : The suit does not come with the pocket - it’s a separate purchase. It does have the mounting for it and it’s quite easy to mount the pocket. I have one pocket that is shared between my 3, 5 and 7mm suits. The 8/7 semi dry does have the pocket permanently attached. While convenient, I prefer the replaceable pocket (held on by Velcro).
Larry S : Can the ankle and wrist seals be trimmed if too long? Or folded under?James O : The wrist and ankle seals are supposed to be inverted at least two inches for a proper seal. Don't trim them. Just invert them 2-3 inches to create a skin-in seal. Please read the information included with the suit before you start trimming and ruin the suit. When you get out of the water reverse the leg seal to drain the suit. Mine drains maybe 4 ounces on an aggressive lobster dive. Many comments have been posted by people who have not read the instructions for this suit. Dive SAFE!SCOTT S : The inner seal can be trimmed, but the outer section of the ankle and wrist has a zipper, that can not be trimmed.Joshua M : I have folded them under. This also cut down on the water exchange, so much so what when you get out of the water, all the water that got into the suit settles in the legs and does not drain out.Alfredo S : Yes they can be trimmed or folded. Dont know if you would loose the seal. Dont think so, they are very long and they make an excellent seal.

Best suit for the money

I have been a long time fan of waterproof. This purchase completed the replacement of Scubapro suits I have owned over a decade that were due. The fit of the waterproof suits is perfect; they are uber comfortable, robust and simply get the job done. Highly recommend.

Waterproof W4 7mm

The overall suit is great. The suit is very comfortable and warm! I have tried many other suits and they seem to fit awkwardly compared to waterproof. If you follow the sizing chart it well for like a glove. The only issue I had was the stitching on the anchor strap came undone in my first dive. Leisure pro is replacing the suit. Overall great suit.

Excellent product

Pretty good fit, excellent material. 6’1/215 and I had to go with the XXL. A little long in arms and legs, but good through abdomen and upper legs. I went with this after getting a waterproof gloves and good a couple of years ago. My Akona 7mm fit fine at 250 lbs, not so much at 215. It seems Waterproof is the gold standard of wetsuits.

Fantastic suit

Have been using this suit in water temps in the 52-55 degree range. Extremely warm and not restrictive. I work underwater until the beginning of December here in Rhode Island when the water temp is in the high 40’s. This suit will be great even in that temp. Two other nice things about the suit. First, it is a workhorse. Very durable so far. Second, very fast drying of the merino inside. I can rinse it in the late afternoon and the inside is dry by the next morning. No more putting on a damp wetsuit. Highly recommend this suit.

Warm & Dry!

Just finished my first dives with this suit and it worked superbly. I dive in No. California and the water temp was 52 F. I wear this with a 7/5 hooded vest (a typical wetsuit configuration here) and I was warm throughout all my dives. At the end of the day, the seals worked so well that there was no water above my knees and no water past my elbows. My core remained dry and even my dive buddy commented that the seal on the back zipper was dry at the end of the day. Other divers kept asking if this was a semi-dry and while WP doesn't market it that way (they have another suit that is a semidry), it might as well be. The styling of the suit also gets more attention than your typical black suit...it's got that space suit look going on! The suit is stiffer than what I'm used to and is not as stretchy but once in the water, it's quite flexible. The fleece on the inside is also great in aiding entry and warmth. The zippers on the arms and legs also help in creating a better fit over gloves and boots. I was a bit worried it would be too buoyant but as it turns out, I could take out 2 lbs compared to other 7mm. One of my original reasons for looking at this suit was because I figured that a Swedish company would know a thing or two about cold water diving...and it's clear they do! Overall a great purchase and at least for now, I'm not thinking of saving up for a drysuit!

Good wet Suit, easy to wear it

By Eugeniu C.

I like this one, it's fit just right, easy to wear it, great for New England cold water.

The W4 is the latest back-zipper wetsuit from Waterproof. After 28 years of experience of making wetsuits Waterproof (WP) has put all their knowledge into this hi-quality suit with an eye-catching silver retro/futuristic look. The 3D anatomical design, with pre-bent arms and legs with wave stretch panels and gender specific construction ensures a comfortable fit and a relaxing body position in the water. 3D molded rubber kneepads are perfect for the diving instructor who spends a lot of time on his knees in the water while teaching.

Double smooth-skin seals at arms and legs, adjustable neck and a 10mm spine pad with an extra seal at the back zipper keeps the cold water out. Seals are designed to fit WP boots and gloves. All zippers (including arms and legs) in top class VISLON #10 from YKK, the back-zipper bronze slider ensures trouble-free function for many years. The 7mm suit has Tough-Tex Panels at elbows and knees, bonded hi-quality nylon thread glued and blind stitched seams and 100% microcell CR neoprene in all panels. Quality is in the details. The W4 also features double computer strap anchors with anti-slip, comfort front neck zipper, inner plush lining, seat and shoulder anti-slip reinforcement.

The WPAD, or the Waterproof Personal Accessory Dock, is a soft artfully constructed docking station located on the right thigh for Waterproofs Expandable Pocket (see SKU: WPGW30TAP). The optional pocket (not included) is big enough to keep an extra mask, slate, decompression table, GoPro camera etc. Use the pocket when needed, if you want to streamline your set up, dive without it. The Waterproof W4 Men's Wetsuit is available in multiple sizes and is black in color.
