It's a good suit, designed and constructed well, good choice of materials too.But for 7mm and above I think there are better suits. |

They are priced ridiculously high in Malaysia though... check prices in Australian shops for a competitive comparison.

i am using 4th element thermocline top suit which is neutral buoyancy, good quality long lasting material, bought it 2 years plus ago, no regret so far..
last time i checked UK prices it is slightly cheaper than in Msia even with shipping.. on a side note, i also have 5mm farmer john proteus for male, and female's thermocline top suit to let go |

Oh so it's only a 10% difference now, that's not that bad then. Last year when I was comparing prices, they were as much as 20-30% apart (and an additional 10% if you take into account Australia tourist GST refund).EDIT: from what i see in AUD its going for 475AUD which isnt much different in margins from one shop which is selling for 1767MYR since thats just roughly 1600MYR, i think if you add shipping it will be the same or probably more.... |
