Re: Tilos wetsuits...opinions?


RacerX, thanks for the info. I saw that one on the site as well, but was worried about the blue edges showing outside the chest armor. What about the material? Can you post a closeup?

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to a local dive shop that supposedly carries the one I posted a link for. I'll let you know what happens.

Eric,

They make an all black version as well (except for the logo on the chest and wrist, but both will be hidden by the suit). I just think you'll roast in the other suit (Body Glove claims it holds in 30% more body heat then the suits without the Titanium lining). Below are some quick pics I took of the front and back of the dive skin I have.

Randy,if Eric passes on your offer,I may be interested :up

In your opinion,would this work well for a Panther suit?

Yes, it would. However, if the armor you are attaching is lightweight, I would go with a cotton/lycra bodysuit. Even though the dive skin is thin, it still holds more body heat than the bodysuit does in my opinion. That's why I didn't use it for my Panther suit (I have Janty's armor which is very light). All depends on how heavy the armor is.

 A 2mm is WAY to hot! I don't EVEN want to talk about a 3mm.
The Bodyglove link that you've posted is where I've gotten 2 of mine....VERY nice suit! For the $$$, you can't go wrong.
