2mm vs. 1.5mm


Recommended Posts

About to purchase a set and the only difference I can imagine would be sharper pulls on the 1.5 mm suit. I know I'm missing something though. Do the vets have any advice? Does one retain it's shape better over time or is one easier to use a heat gun on? Thanks you, guys

The 1.5mm is more flexible than 2mm which is more rigid and has a heavier feel to it when wear, i.e. stiffer like armor. 

 

I have both kinds, the 2mm is more durable, the 1.5 is more flexible. The biggest difference is how you plan to assemble it, if you want to go with the original wire strapping method then you need to go 1.5 as the 2mm doesn't have the flexibility that type of connection puts on the edges and can crack.
