Why the beavertails vs full suits? Does more water leak into the beaver tail suits?
Because beaver tail suits have attached hoods which makes a neck seal leak nonexistent, they are doubled up on the torso and the beaver tail design gives the best leg hip movement of a two piece style suit. Some peopoe use a one piece attached hood with a front cross zip but those suits tend to be spongy and compress quite a bit at depth.
And because they look totally cool.
The M&B suits we get are made from original patterns from the early 1960's
So essentially we are wearing the exact same suits people used back then.
