    Need a Review

    My 5m Excel five fingers aren't cuttin it anymore so I'm goin back to crab claws.

    5m Quicksilver Ignite HFT wetsuit mitt

    or

    6/4m Body Glove Vapor Claw Glove

    They are equally priced and I'm lookin to grab them before next swell. Which would you get?

    quicksilver is more of a logo than a wetsuit maker, and body glove is opposite.

    i'd trust bodyglove's neoprene over quick any day

    Every 3/2 suit Ive ever had has been a body glove, but I ve never had gloves or boots by them. I could care less about the brand though either way, just looking for performance, don't feel like having to get out of the water cause my fingers feel like theyve been slammed in a door.

    I got the hyperflex mittens and have been happy with them.

    I have to say, recently Quiksilver has done some good things for their suits. Not sure about boots and gloves but i just got the cypher and it's the nicest 5 mil I've had compared to a psycho I, Ripcurl elasto, and a West Lotus.

    I got the Body Glove 5 mil fusions claws and they are pretty nice. Also look at the West 6 mil ones they have a strap around the wrist which is nice too
