This suit is easy to get in and out of, highly durable, not too hot for tropical waters but thick enough to keep you warm beyond the thermocline. Can also be used in cooler waters as the 3.5 can keep you warm even in the mid to lower 60s. Overall one of the most durable suits I've ever had and would highly recommend for someone looking to do a wide range of diving/surfing and be very comfortable while doing it.
