Bare NG keeps the water on the outside, and the price is hard to beat. On the downside:
- baggy cut, in particular in the legs
- the zipper is pretty stiff, making it really hard to reach the tank valve
- the rubber knee protectors are too stiff and tend to unglue in the middle; this is mostly cosmetic problem, though
- heavy-duty hand seals will be either too tight or will leak depending on how you cut them; on the plus side, they are very resilient
- the suit tends to bind to undies unless you add a lot of air to the suit

Also, T-100 undies that shops often bundle with this suit are not enough for Monterey diving (at least for me).
