Triple-x wet suits

jsevland · 1st March 2008, 11:18

Hi all

I'm in the process of buying a wet suit for diving in the Red Sea (mid March).
So far I have been looking at traditional neoprene suits (in local shops here in Norway).

Due to different reasons, I need to expand my options. As a result I have considered ordering online.

One of the brands recommended to me is the Triple-X wetsuits from Australia. I'm slightly bewildered by this brand, since it is not well known here in the old world - but gets great reviews from those who have tried them.

The suits appear to be a new design, allowing them to be thinner and fast drying: - Dive Wetsuits, Surfing Wetsuits & Rash Vests / Guards - Triple-X

Do any of you have experience diving with these?
What thickness would you recommend for diving the Red Sea in mid March?
As far as I can tell, the 2 mm with an hooded under-vest seems to be to model of choice ...
