Conclusion
The Santi Elite Plus is well deserving of the rare 5-star review on our site as it simply ticks all the boxes for an amazing drysuit.
From the classic design, to the high-quality build, and the value of the materials, there is just nothing I can find to complain about.
Most of all, it stands out due to some clever design choices, such as not putting any seems in the arm pits to prevent stress breaking from moving your arms.
The same goes for the position of the dry zipper.
If you want the best of the best, the Santi Elite Plus is one of the drysuits you absolutely have to check out!
