Talk to me Larry

Why is this so much cheaper than other comparable wetsuits? I need a new work wetsuit and looking for something cheap and durable. I had first thought I would go with the 3mm Henderson thermoprene for $160 then I found this. This is the cheapest I have ever seen for any brand in a like category and I like the 4mm torso for my type diving. What's the deal? I still believe in the old adage "you get what you pay for" but I was intrigued by this suit. Compare and contrast them for me. BTW, I need really durable knee pads for working on the bottom of rivers. Do the knee pads on either of these hold up? Thanks in advance.

Easy... They made a bunch of 4/3 suits - and they were not popular. Everyone wanted a 3 mil or a 5 mil... They thought one in between was a good idea - and it probably is, but the perception in the industry from the consumer standpoint is "I need a 3 mil for warm water" "I need a 5 mil for colder water" and no one ever says they need a 4 mil. So they didn't sell... So we bought their remaining stock at a discount and are sending the savings through.

I've got one of those 4/3's and it's perfect for spring diving - 72 degrees year round. The suit seems to be good quality, and I've had no problems with it.. I figure if I'm diving warmer water and it gets a little toasty I'll just pull the collar and let some water flush through...
I think it's a good all around thickness...YMMV
