Default Bowstone undersuits

I have a Bowstone Warmerplus undersuit, which I'm very happy with. But in
this time of the year it's becoming a bit uncomfortable t° wise (or I'm
getting old...).

I was thinking of buying a Bowstone Optima or Maxima. Has anyone experience
with one of these undersuits?

Just go for a Weezle Extreme and be done with it - you won't regret it!

Talking of undersuits, anyone actually dived in a Fourth Element Zerotherm
Artic yet?

Price for Price, the Weezle is about the best on the market. It's warm, as
in...VERY WARM.

My only fault with weezle suits is that they're a pain to get back in their
storage bag
And the socks that they supply end up a bit stinky after a few dives

Other than that, and the fact that they're difficult to get any water into
when washing (a plus point for diving!), they're about the best on the
market.

And they're British!

Just an observation but just about every Weezle I've ever seen seems to be
ripped - especially around the shoulder area where the drysuit zip can very
easily catch the baggy outer material...

Mines not!

They do have extra material patched across the shoulder area to avoid this.
The outer material is no different from most other undersuits. So why
weezle's should rip and not other manufacturer's undersuits, beat me!
Can only be put down to heavy handed-ness.

What I meant was: why don't you want to sell Bowstone anymore?

They're British too, aren't they?

Basically they're no competition. The fact that weezle has become a badge
as well. Much like Posiedon, or Aerdura.
Pointless carrying stock of Bowstone, when people request Weezle all the
time. And I don't wanna sell someone a Bowstone suit, only for them to buy
a Weezle 6 months later because they're better. Supply & Demand!
