Ursuit AWS is the basic model of rescue suits, which also works as a snorkeling suit if necessary. The good thing is the lightness, reasonable price and ease of use. Holes appear quite easily, especially in the back, if you sit a lot in the suit, for example on a boat bench. When wading in beach water, you should wear decent wading shoes.

Well sealed suit, but despite everything, after a few hours my feet are wet.
It is easy to put on even at the level of the neoprene of the neck, a little less at the level of the wrists, so it is damaged more quickly.
The large diagonal zipper is very practical, as are the suspenders.
To prolong its life, I rinse it after each use, and let it dry open on a hanger. This is my 2nd wetsuit, after having used the 1st regularly for 10 years.
I recommend her...

The L-size I ordered turned out to be significantly larger than the L-size of regular clothes. In addition, the neck cuff was slightly loose, although my neck represents approximately average thickness. I sent the suit back so it would change to M-size.
The idea behind Ursuit is that you have to fit a LOT of insulation underneath, but in kayaking, for example, extra pleats are likely to be annoying and can stick to something.
(Update :) I got changed to M-size and it fits well, although it should be too small for me in terms of dimensions. The neck cuff is tighter, but for a completely tight result, you should probably replace it with a neck cuff for diving use. Overall, the suit seems to have a very good value for money. Another advantage is that it can be repaired and modified by Ursuit.

With one season of user experience, just a good purchase for its price. The sock-like legs are actually quite convenient for basic fishing trips and boating because you can wear the footwear you want. Although wading is not as easy as with models with boots, you easily have to dry wet shoes at the end of the evening.
The biggest difference to the Ursuit professional suits I wear is the lack of a shell fabric Hood. This is actually a surprisingly significant factor, with windy and cold weather being really grim to be at sea without a hood. The neoprene hood that comes with the suit has little protection from wind and splashes.
Wearing a shell jacket over a hooded suit has proved to be a practical solution. In this case, you can also use your own familiar pockets, which are otherwise not even more present in the suit.
So far, there has been no comment on materials or durability - although this is supposed to be Ursuit's "moped model", the suit is a convincing and sturdy product.
