not trying to be cocky but price isnt a factor. Im really looking at warmth and flexibility. Since I only shortboard the pataginia scares me a bit from what I am hearing its stiff and that will hurt getting up fast especially in heavier waves.
Check out the new flashbomb plus suits. very nice...I am looking at those and the new billabong (crazy light but maybe not the warmest...havent tried yet)Quote:

you order the plus or the original?
My experience with Isurus is completely the opposite. The Isurus feels more flexible to me than any of the big brands (Billa, Rip, etc..)Quote:

had to get the standard. couldn't find the plus in a 5/4/3.
Yeah I don't know. Felt way more laboring than my other suits. Got one a while ago not sure why mine felt so restrictive?Quote:
