I am sure they will be slower. However:
-- permeable material can certainly still trap air if it is hydrophobic enough (I have grabbed a hydrophobic filter in lab by mistake and tried in vain to force water thru it; it doesn't work even though the filter is porous). I suspect buoyancy (density) of the material was a bigger reason for flotation of the previous suits; I've always thought the air trapping thing was a red herring. Even practice suits will trap some air.
I disagree,the impermeable suits trapped air in a way that was very effective and will be difficult for a permeable suit to duplicate.
