Old poseidon unisuit exclusive fit

[Frogman82]

Hi all, I recently purchased an old poseidon unisuit exclusive to use as a fall/winter suit. Have never used a neoprene suit, so I wanted to try it out the cheap way. Paid $200 for it and have installed a brand new zipper so the suit is actually in top condition with no leaks. But I'm not sure if it is a tad too small. It feels nice once in the water, but it's a little snug out of the water. Posting a couple of photos of me in the suit with a thin wicking layer and a 200g santi thinsulate vest underneath. By the looks of it do you think it fits?

Looks almost perfect . I had one of these suits , ultra warm . Better snug than sloppy as they trap air in folds . enjoy

Worked in one and still have it. Your not going to be cold, I only wore shorts and tee shirt inside mine. Warmest suit I ever put on.

I'm used to diving a shell suit and it will be interesting to see how it compares to my otter Britannic. I have an assortment of undergarments but still get chilled. This unisuit might be a low cost alternative to a heated vest.

Depends on the WT and depth being neoprene. I had one and absolutely loved it. Worked great in the FL caves. Little drag compared to a shell. A customer broke the back of the zip and it was getting old so chucked it. Fit was snug but great in the water.

Fourth Element X-Core vest is really warm. Their answer to a heated vest. Just nice warm fleece worn over your base layer.

It doesn't get too cold here, mid to upper 40's right now and maybe a couple of degrees colder in the winter. I managed to get a 57" ziooer from China for $70 and replaced it myself so that wasn't too big of a deal.

Interesting, ill look into that one.

I had an older model UNISUIT with the zipper from front to back between the legs. Neoprene suits are warm by virtue of the neoprene itself, requiring lighter undergarments than trimil suits. The downside is some restriction of movement.

EDIT Forgive me @Frogman82 I meant to compliment you on your suit and the fit looks good!
