womens wetsuit

[ERIC.K]

Wife went to LDS to purchase new wetsuit, tried on size 14 but she felt that she could use extra length, she is nearly 6 foot tall. we ordered the size 16 but the dive shop owner warned us that Mares had intended to change the pattern and cut of this years models of womens wetsuits. Any confirmation of this....thanks

Eric,
Your LDS is sort of correct. We are introducing in Jan a new line of 3mm suits. For 2007 in 3mm you will have 2 options.

• Trilastic Deluxe 3.2.2mm
• Tropic 3mm

The Tropic pattern will be different. It will represent the She Dives line and look very similar to our current 5.4.3mm suit which can be viewed at http://mares.com/product_detail.php?id=225&region=USA. Sizing will be the same as 2006, womens size 6 - 16. The Tropic will utilize many new features including our Trilastic material (extremely flexible).

The Deluxe 3.2.2 will also closely resemble the She Dives line, note there are cosmetic differences between this suit and the Tropic. It will utilize a new material on the inside of the suit called Dryfire . This material will not retain water, dries quickly, and actually wicks moisture away resulting in increased heat retention. There are also many new features to this suit as well.
