Pinnacle Tempo XT 3mm

[Dave616]

Anyone tried a Pinnacle Tempo XT 3mm? Been looking at this 3mm because it seems to be the closest thing I can find that meets all my measurements( in size Large).

Also, does the Merino lining help or hinder during donning and doffing?

I bought the exact suit you are considering (except in XL) after trying on several at the dive shop a couple weeks ago and had my first chance to try it this weekend. I am fairly new to diving and have only had the chance to try a couple other west suits which were rentals before I purchased my own. Compared to the two other rental suits that I had tried I prefer this wet suit over them no question about it. I am assuming it was the Merino lining that made it easier to get in and out of compared to the rentals, especially because one of the rentals were a larger cheaper Pinnacle, that I used and it also seemed a bit warmer to me.

Thanks, I'm planning on buying this suit from Leisure Pro today or tomorrow. They have good prices when you call them.

Purchased this suit a couple weeks ago. Very comfortable and fits well. The Merino lining and ankle zippers make it easy to get on. I ultimately chose this suit based on sizing, because of my athletic build, it's the only suit I found that could accommodate a smaller waist/large shoulder combo.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I'll be using it in Coz in a few weeks. I'll post a better review then.
