I have the Halo AR and Santi BZ 400. I dive cold water in the Pacific Northwest of Canada on a regular basis. Halo AR definitely not as warm as Santi BZ 400. Great advertising and concept on fourth elements behalf but not up to the function of a 400 g thinsulate for cold water diving from my experience.
I would like to see a review on in water use. It’s always reviews on just the suit itself but never any reviews with people actually putting it on and going in the water. That’s a lot of money to spend on a suit to find out really doesn’t work.
GLOVES I have a Santi drysuit and use the G1 under gloves with a basic Amazon black rubber chemical glove. I don’t use a dry glove ring system as I can simply stretch a rubber chemical glover over the Santi rubber cuff for less expensive but viable solution. However, I can say it’s not a viable solution in 37 F degree waters as my fingers got cold. It’s now 2024 and Fourth element just released their new Halo A°R Gloves. No doubt they are going to provide more thermal protection than the G1 under glove, however, at the cost of a thicker glove solution. The outer rubber glove will have to be upsized to accommodate the Halo and unfortunately reducing the divers tactile capabilities. We still need to see a review on the Halo A°R Gloves, anyone?

Looks great. Should I compare this to a Santi BZ200 or BZ400 style undersuit in terms of thermal insulation?

Im guessing this is the top range/thermal protection. Artic > expedition > halo

How buoyant is it?
That's the opening for a p-valve? By the waist? I'm obviously deficient or I will need to get a longer relief hose!
里面如果要穿电加热 线怎么进去呢
I never had a under suit tell me why do you need pokets?
I leave my car keys in the pocket.
When I read Halo I immediately thought of the game
