Pinnacle advice welcome...

[steve&debbie]

...we're looking at Pinnacle Elastoprene/Merino wetsuits - 3mm for him, 5mm for her. We've been diving in Titanium Hyperstretch and have no major compliants - they've just worn out kinda fast. We're both pretty susceptible to cold underwater and tend to do multi-dives/day where we can. Alot of times we'll both add a 3mm corewarmer.

Thoughts? Advice? THX!!!!!!!!!!

Poo! Hate not having spellcheck on this!

I play either Callaway, or Titilest Pro V1....I would not recomend Pinnacle, not enough distance, cover too hard, no bite onthe short game....sorry I had to.....

I have a Pinnacle Seal Merino 3mm and it kept me warm enough, without a core warmer in 67deg springs.

Hi I have used my pinnacle elastoprene approx. 25 dives at Cozumel. The suit has been awesome. I dont get too cold too fast, so I was always warm. No hood. The only issue I have is the neck is so tight until I get wet. No big deal. seeya kevin

I have a Pinnacle Polar semidry which has a merino lining. Well, it's a semidry so it's warm. But point is, the merino lining really made it easy to don and doff. I've tried on titanium lining suits before, the feeling of rubber/plastic on my skin is horrible; the merino is a cloth texture it's ultra comfy.

I have the core warmer as well, haven't had a chance to use it yet (the semidry is plenty warm enough at the moment), but it's very stretchy, I'm not sure if it's going to give a lot of warmth on its own 'cos the fitting is pretty loose for me. I guess it'll work great if topped with another suit.

I have no problem recommending Pinnacle suits, they're very well made and of good quality.

The only piece of pinnacle gear i own are the 4MM carbonflex gloves w/merino lining. I like them but the only complaint I have is the wrist straps suck. All the people I know thta own the pinnacle suits with the merino lining are happy with them. I just haven't bought one due to budget constraints but I would like to own a 3MM.
