I field tested the wetsuit in a heavy downpour and it performed exactly as advertised!!!! While I cannot attach the file here as I filmed in 4K I can leave a Dropbox link. The video says it all. Please excuse my lack of soft movements as my concern was not cinematography but functionality. Enjoy:)

Now all we need is a solution to keep water away from the lens. There might be applications where you need to fly and imaging isn’t important- I suppose the greatest appeal for this product might be where you have an expectation of rain while flying and hope to get your AC home without damage.
 
I have since applied Rain-X and fly in sport mode. This has alleviated 80% of the drops on the lens. I fly for the local news and there are numerous times footages has been needed in the rain and I had to refuse the job and thus the money. This is a game changer. Also if you watch any major channel, like CNN maybe, whenever they shoot in inclement weather it just adds to the realism for the viewer.
