Wetsuit Options


I've never had to deal with the wetsuit situation before. Because the only other suit I've been interested in is the 89 suit, I've always used a spandex undersuit. Well now I'm taking on the begins suit and I want to be as accurate as possible.

The BB batsuit uses a two-piece plant-based neoprene undersuit as it's base, so I've been looking around at verious wetsuits, but I can't find any that I think would be suitable. I'm after one that has a smoothskin, like a triathlon wetsuit, but all these seem to be a mixture of 5/3/2mm neoprene, which at a guess would be pretty hot.

Anyone have any ideas? What have you bought for your suit and do you have any photos of it?

Cheers bros.

By the way, this is the closest I've found to what I'm after here in the UK.

Paul,
Contact Quintana Roo, and ask them if they'll do a custom job for you.
The guy who did the Death of Batman fan film had them make him one without any labels.

I have a 2-piece Desoto tri-athelete suit for my Panther. It is hot (i'm sure any wet suit will be), and I'm not sute about the mixture. Maybe do a search on that. It might suit your needs.

How thick is that Drew? Brin, I'll give your suggestion a go, if I get no joy from them, is there anyone else that anybody could suggest for getting a custom wetsuit made?

There was the woman at BodyGlove who did a few wetsuits a bit back. Like the "Returns" one. Sorry, I can't remember her name or the contact number.

Yeah I heard about her, I was hoping someone here could direct me her way. Does anyone have a photo of that particular wetsuit?

Her name is Michelle and she made the undersuits for Keaton(Returns only),Kilmer and Clooney....along with myself and a few other board members as well.
The guy I first talked to was Gene for the initial order,then spent some time on the phone with Michelle to get accurate body measurements so it was custom fit to my exact proportions.

 Unfortunately I don't have the phone number and this was done on the old board,so I doubt that thread exists anymore,but it shouldn't be that hard to find through their website or email them about it.
It was a bit costly...$250.00,but worth it to me.

Paul (Artsee) might remember her name. I think he bought one. Janty might've, too. BatesFX did, but I'm not sure how to contact him.

Cheers guys. John do you have a photo of the wetsuit? Is it a smoothskin or raw neoprene?

It is smoothskin all around. My Returns armor is mounted to it so I don't think I have a photo of just the suit itself,but I'll look around. :wink
Supposedly,it is the same material used for the Returns suit and the same pattern as well. No labels either.

Also,it was Bates that hooked us up. I think Todd knows her personally.
