The torso and leg areas are made from five millimetre smooth-skin neoprene, while the arm and shoulder areas are made from laminated material with a thickness of four and three millimetres respectively. With the backzip we tested, you can get into it effortlessly even without the mobility of a contortionist, the neck collar closes softly and comfortably at the neck, the fit is neither excessively wide nor particularly narrow. The freedom of movement is on a similar level to the thermal insulation - very high! There is plenty of cosy inner lining in the torso and leg areas, which makes it very comfortable to wear.
The rubber material incorporated in the calf area, called the "Muscle Lock System", which is supposed to improve the blood supply to the muscles through compression, is a little too deep a reach into the marketing drawer in our eyes - but this should not detract from the positive overall impression of the Neo. The Combat Fullsuit is available with a chest and back zip in 5/4/3 and as a 6/5/4 even with a fixed bonnet, with prices ranging from 499.95 to 529.95 euros.
