Where to buy

Both the Revel and Elate are super flexy which makes moving around in and on the water really easy. The anatomically correct design, low-profile collar, and range of sizes offer a great fit.

Although the seals are simple, the cuffs fit snug against the skin, keeping the water out and the body warm. And the stylish design looks good too. We think these are a great choice for warm water diving, ocean swimming, surfing, and other watersports. And at the price point, loads of customers are bound to agree!

Things we like:

  • Paper-thin and flexible kneepads on the full-body wetsuits
  • Stylish and sleek design
  • Comfortable and snug fit
  • Strong, durable seams
  • Very stretchy material that allows for great flexibility and range of motion
  • Easy to don and doff
  • The smooth lining around the collar
  • Cut of the suit, especially around the shoulders
  • Good range of sizes
  • Great value for money

Things we don't like:

  • The wetsuit is so stretchy that you may need to consider buying one size smaller
  • If you have skinny wrists or ankles, the seals may not sit perfectly snug against the skin or remain watertight
  • Although the design is great, it would be nice to have a couple of different color options
