Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm an all around water guy and have owned and used Camaro wet suits a lot in the past and have been delighted with their fit, finish, and overall quality. This is the first one that just didn't fit. I ordered the same size I always order, but the shoulders, arms, and wrists were gigantic! I figure that Camaro, an Austrian company, used Arnold Schwarzenegger, a fellow Austrian, as their model for my size. There is no way this suit is going to work for me. Water will flood into the wrist openings and freeze my narrow butt off. I'm reluctantly sending it back.
Other than an unacceptable fit, I liked the suit, especially the smoothskin upper that should greatly diminish evaporative cooling in this suit. The zipper looked great, it was easy to don and doff, and everything was great except...the fit. A wet suit that doesn't fit is worse than useless, because you think it should keep you warm and it doesn't.
Excellent product at an amazing price

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This wetsuit is an excellent product. Amazingly warm and confortable, there is almost no water infiltration and the little there is, it warms up extremly quickly. The stretch neoprene makes it very easy to put on and off and give you freedom of movements. The smooth skin provide great protection against windchill. Really at this price and for this quality, it is a bargain. Take advantage of it while it last.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It would have been a perfect fit except that from the shoulders to the elbows there was about 5 inches of baggy material in the under arm. It just flapped around, need big upper arms to fill it out.

Pros:
Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Off, Stretchy
Best Uses:
Colder Water, Windsurfing
Describe Yourself:
Casual User
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is the best wetsuit I have ever owned. It is 100% smooth-skin (no outer lining) so wind chill is minimized. That's important to me, as I use it for windsurfing. This 5mm suit is stretchier, more comfortable, and easier to put on and take off, than my 3mm suit by another top maker of windsurfing wetsuits. This suit also seems more durable and resistant to rips and tears than other smooth-skin wetsuits. In the future when I need a new wetsuit, I will look for Camaro first.
