You get what you pay for. The Neosport neoprene is not even close to the quality of the hyperstretch material bigfish mentioned. They're not comparable. I would not go with the Neosport at all but it might be ok as a back up as Back Beach mentioned. The line is marketed more to the occasional wetsuiter rather than someone who might be using theirs more than once or twice a week. They're just not durable. If you wear a neosport suit frequently the neoprene will show wear and get pilled up. It's actually a little uncomfortable and itchy when it's directly on your skin I'd be especially concerned about it's longevity given the kind of punishment we give them climbing on rocks. . I have a Neosport vest for extra warmth that I've had to start wearing over my suit instead of under it because it's so worn out. It's been ok for that purpose but I personally would not go that route.
