Lycra suit

Does anyone have one of these:

How do you like them? I'm in the market for one of these, but I can't decide on which one to get. I've seen some that have added padding on the back for the tank, but I'm not sure if these have that.

My sister-in-law has one. She loves it, uses it to help slide her wetsuit on. She says it helps out a lot for that.

if you are looking for a dive skin to use alone(not under other suit) try the aeris rio.05-more of a fullsuit & has a bit more modesty than the lycra with out the bulk-wore mine in GC in 84 degree water and was very comfortable

If you're looking for something to wear under a wetsuit to make it slide on easier, I think pretty much any decent lycra skin will do. Heavier lycras will be more durable (and the suit probably made a little better) so compare the fabric weight to others you might buy.

If you're looking for something to wear alone in warm water, I've found .5 or 1mm neoprene to be much more durable than any lycra suit, easier to get on when damp, provides better protection and a little actual warmth.

I've never seen a lycra skin with tank padding (and haven't felt the need for it.) If you're wearing it under a thicker suit anyway I don't think it would make a difference in comfort, and might even be counterproductive if your main suit fits well.

Hmm, ok. Thanks for the replies. I'm mainly looking for one to just slide my 7mm suit on easier. So I'm guessing the one I have in the link would be just fine then.

They work like a charm when trying to slide into a wetsuit - during OW my instructor struggled to get hers on (she only had a swimsuit on) while mine slid on very easily. I have a Henderson .5mm - I bet this Tilos is good too.

How did I not see those. I posted on another thread that I was considering a TommyD skin for only $5 less than this. I guessing this is better quality, and the foot stirrups are a bonus.

hmm, I didn't realize it was front zipper.. if that's the case it may be something I'd consider.
