Amirul Iskandar –
Bought this wetsuit for my trip to Tioman and I’m really impressed with how comfortable it is. The back zip made it easy to put on, and I stayed warm even after multiple dives. The fit was just nice, no chafing at all.

Tan Mei Ling –
Is this steamer suitable for diving in slightly cooler waters, like around 22°C? Not sure if the 2.5MM thickness is enough.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Mei Ling, the 2.5MM thickness is best for tropical and moderately temperate waters, and should be suitable for temperatures around 22°C for most divers. If you tend to feel cold easily, you might want to consider an extra layer such as a rash guard underneath.
Suresh Pillai –
The suit is really lightweight and easy to pack, which is great for travel. Only small issue is I wish the knee pads were a bit thicker for better protection. Still, overall I’m satisfied with the quality.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you, Suresh, for sharing your honest review. We’re glad you appreciated the lightweight design, and we’ll take your suggestion on knee pad thickness into consideration for future improvements.
