Question Cressi summer 2

So I head to my LDS for a Christmas party. They are not going to carry Cressi line anymore but still have inventory. We got to talking about wetsuits. I don't have one and have been looking at one piece 3mm.

In fact I was going to get a Henderson thermoprene from ST after the first of the year. I've noticed they are on sale. Jay mentioned that they had some Cressi summer 2 in XL and I'm "blowing them out".

It fit very nice for a dry on dry fit. Just a bit tight through the forearm area, everywhere else like a glove. Tagged at $133.00 I was told that I could get it, out the door for $84.59. I jumped on it even though it has zipper legs and arms that I'm not real crazy about.

Any thoughts on the zippers good, bad, indifferent, I'd like to hear them all. As well as anyone who owns one, are you happy with it. Plain and simple it is going to have to work for a while, but am I going to have trouble with the zippers? Do I need to keep some velcro in my dive bag?

Hey Goober, I don't know the answer to your question
but does he have a website or maybe some Rondine A
fins he's gonna let go cheap? And ya know, velcro is
cheap and light, you might wanna put some in yer bag

I did see some cressi fins..I think they were reactions and frogs though. But call them and see ask to speak to Jay Hodges. I dive the rondines and have no complaints so far. Good fin.

I went with the Cressi's because of the quality construction coupled with they fitted me like a second skin & still allowed a complete range of movement.

PS. I'v had the Ice for about 5 years or so, if I don't get rolled across too many rock shelves in the future I expect it to last for some time yet. Only had the Lontra for about 3 years, it still looks & works like new.
Thank you!
