Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have worn the 4/3mm Men's Hyperflex CYCLONE Wetsuit for three years. It was my first hyper-stretch wetsuit suit. I strongly recommend the super stretchy neoprene for relative coldwater diving. I have dived the suit, with a hood, down to 53 degree water and was not overly cold. It is very comfortable in 60 degrees and above, with no hood. Since I have only used the Hyperflex brand, I am unsure if whether my favorable image of the suit is based on the brand quality or the performance for this type of suit's materials. In either case, the suit did a good job for me. A strange aspect of the stretchy suits is that they cost less, allow greater flexibility, and allow diving in colder water than the thicker suits made from traditional neoprene.
I probably made 50 dives with the suit before busting the YKK zipper. Since I weigh more than the recommended weight for the suit, I think the durability was good. I did not want to replace the zipper, so I am buying a new suit. I looked the old suit over and could only find a minor tear in the neck. If you use the "underwater urination test" to determine the suit's seals, I would guess you need at least 20 minutes to have significant dilution. The stretchy suits create a strong vacuum seal to the skin, and this prevents leaks.
My brother has used the older style material "farmer john" that is much bulkier and allows much more water to the diver. We dove in 70 degree water yesterday and he was chilled in his 5 mm + 3mm "farmer john," while I was very comfortable in my 4/3 Cyclone. I should also mention that the stretchy suits allow one to easily suit up in less than 5 minutes. I routinely gave my brother a 5-10 minute head start on suiting up, and still beat him into the water. Besides the new suit for me, I am buying a suit for him.
