Introducing the Game Changer.

[Jax]

I am watching and waiting. I dove 62^o water with Xerotherm base and Arctics over, and am still chilly.

Seriously, if you were to loan TSandM a demo set, and she says they are warm, I will buy a set immediately!!!

Anyone see a potential issue with the inner undergarment zipper being in line with the drysuit zipper?

 

[Jax]

Are you thinking it would bunch up?

It wouldn't on mine, but I could see it would be a problem for those who are closer to the next size.

I see a problem with the 'under' undergarment bunching, and being a problem getting the calves in the legs of the Fusion.

The test divers (myself included) report no issues with zippers. It's actually quite convenient if you dive a Fusion for ease doffing and donning.

The Thermal Fusion has virtually identical Thermal value as the MK3 but in package that weights 1.14kg vs. 2.38kg for the same sized MK3. When i first dived it over a year ago I gave my MK3 away the same day. I could rave about it all day but all you have to do is dive one or talk to someone who has. It is that good.

No, I was thinking of the two being stacked against each other might rub or catch, or just be "felt" under the straps of your buoyancy device.

 

[TSandM]

Were you able to shed any significant amount of weight, in comparison with the MK3?

 

[mheaster]

When, Where and how much?

OK, I will ask: Who, exactly is your "competitor’s top rated undergarment"?

Would that be Fourth Element Artic?

Is this what you were asking?

 

[WHITES Justin]

TSandM is asking about how much lead the average diver can lose in comparison to the MK3. This is actually quite significant and the average test diver dropped between 5 and 8lbs. I personally dropped 8lbs from perfect buoyancy in the MK3. No one was under 5lbs. So there is a huge difference in buoyancy properties.
