Mares Evolution 3pc or Oceanic Shadow 3 pc

[Biggles]

Hi I'm after a 3 pc wetsuit for Holiday diving.

What would you go for Mares or Oceanic?

Thanks:)

I've no experience of the Mares but I've had an Oceanic Shadow for three years now and absolutely love it. Depending on where you are plannig to dive I would point out that it is a very warm suit. With both the full length suit and shorty on I've done 30+ mins in 5C water and not felt particularly cold (and I'm a real wimp) in fact in 10C plus it's too warm with both bits on. Even out of the water I never felt chilled.

Second vote for the Oceanic.:) :) :)

Dive all year round in one when I first started including Stoney in December. Felt warm all the time.

Most new members of my club tend to buy one when they start going open water.

But then that could also be as our local dive shop is an Oceanic dealer.

Get the one that fits you best.

A fair point!! :D

I also have the Oceanic Shadow. Superb. Versatile, warm and well made. I made a slight alteration to mine as the velcro on the neck seal would chafe with regular....3-4 dives a day on a liveaboard...diving. But I would buy another in a heartbeat.
