I bought one about 4 weeks ago. I've done 6 trips since then, all digging trips, three short and muddy, three long and wet.
Firstly, i love the material! Soft and smooth, slightly elastic, just great. The velcrow is strong too.
I agree with the comments that it's over priced. There are no added extras at all (pockets inside or out, cuffs, fleecy collar, repair kit, etc).
After the second trip i noticed some small puncture holes in the suit, around the arse area. This was following a short digging trip where i spent quite a while in a new rift that has lots of quite sharp nodules, which might explain the holes, but not exuse them for the second trip. Maybe i do cave a bit agressively for suits, but that habit has come from suits being able to cope with it.
Now, after 6 trips it's got lots of holes. One big problem currently is I can't find out what material it is, so don't know what glue or spare material to be buying. Upon suggestion of the retail outlet i purchased this suit from, it's being returned.
