I quite like my trilaminate suit, strangely it makes for easy travelling - my suit and undersuit weigh less than a thick 7mm wetsuit and its warmer - took mine to Lanzarote where it was 20 degrees - too cold for me for a wetsuit, because the material is totally non insulating under water it is easy to achieve the right temp, try doing that with neoprene suit - they are much heavier and much warmer making them less useful in warmer waters and for travelling. I love the flexibility of membrane suits!
