So what the heck is this Flectalon stuff, and how does it compare to Polar Flease, Thinsulate, or Weezles?
Flectalon???

Northern Diver makes the Flectalon, it's a coarse fiberous insulation whose fibers are very stiff, making for good loft & compression resistance.
The inside of their undies are lined with a light fleece, stretch panels at armpits & mesh at the wrist cuffs.
It's some pretty decent stuff, too bad the company is so dang unresponsive.
I used to be a dealer for them but gave up because of their inability to communicate.
You'll want the 300 weight for where you're at.
I still have a few sets of the stuff around if you're interested.

I agree with Wingtip. Flectalon is awesome, well worth the money!

Hello Redshift, once again
Has I've said to you before , I bought with my ND Trilam Cortex, the 100. I usually dive near Lisboa. Last weekend, as you now, the weather was very bad, and water temp. cold. I feel OK with the 100, but I saw a guy, in Portinho da Arrábida,using a 200.
Wiht my wet suit , 5mm, I always get very cold. Summer or winter.
I don't have too much body fat, 45kg. So, I think that depends on your body capacity to mantain the temp.
My problem now, is really, the amount of air that I' m putting inside the suit. Let's how goes next 3 day weekend.
Cheers
Constança

I bought the flectalon 300 when I got my dry suit (Dive rite 905, shell suit) and have done 2 dives in 7 degree Celsius water. No problem at all. When I tried out the suit I had a Weasle extreme+, about the same temperature in the water. I can't say one is warmer than the other. Maybe when the water gets around 0 degrees Celsius.
