The Subgear Rebel Steamer is really comfortable and super easy to put on with the back zip. I used it for my dives around Tioman and didn’t feel cold at all in the water.

I like the flexibility and the fit, but the reinforced knee panels could be a bit more padded for my preference. Overall, a solid wetsuit for my weekend dives.
