Has anyone tried on a Scubapro EverFlex?

So... How many dives did you have on your 5/4mm EverFlex before you found it "very compressed"?

P.S. I used Bare 3 mm in the past. When the second one became very thin, I switched to SF because of (to be honest) wrist and ankle zippers - it does not matter for the warm water but much more convenient with multiple don/doff. (I do prefer the very tight fit.) I found that the SF fit is even better for my body, especially "Sport". However... compression, very fast compression is not the feature I was looking for...

To be honest, I have not really noticed my SP suits being particularly thin. But, they are old models and maybe I just haven’t really been paying attention to that.

What is SF? I know ScubaForce makes drysuits, but I don’t think they make wetsuits.

What is SF?

SP - ScubaPro. Sorry for this typo...

I had an older EverFlex (that one with the yellow inner chest area liner) in hands. However, it is happened that I never used it. I believe that it was made of different neoprene foam that time. It was not so soft and rather looked like my older wetsuits from the last millennium - those never get compressed too much.

I have the 7/5 everflex and have used it a few weekends.

I would appreciate your opinion after 50-100 dives. I am talking about the material thickness only.

That is the same version of the EverFlex that I have - with the yellow chest liner.

I have always been very happy with those suits. They seem to have maintained their warmth well and they fit me well. And, the large sealing areas in the wrists, ankles, and neck area combine to make them do a very good job of keeping water from circulating through the seat - thus keeping me warmer.

All that said, I do like my new Bare suits even better. For now. If the Bare suits crush down and get really thin, quickly, I may lose my enthusiasm for them...
