    Mines Xcel, I like the quality and the logo.

    I pissed in my new wetty yesterday for the first time since getting it. Was great for insulation in the cold. But it went all the way to my boots and then the piss got cold in my boots and was the only thing cold on me. What's the freezing point of piss? It's gotta be lower than water. Was pretty cool when I dumped out two boots full of piss in the shower post-sesh. The end.

    As much as I'd hate to be part of a wetsuit thread, I got to agree with the above. 2 or 3 year old 5/4 ripcurl flash bomb. I love that suit. I used to only wear oniel, then I had a few issues with gloves and a suit, didn't like the customer service I was given. Now I'm a ripcurl guy

    A 5/4/3 rip curl with an attached hood i got for a good deal. It has a chest zipper that drains out water if it comes into the suit. My xcel dry lock boots make the tips of my toes so cold though it's really annoying

    Got a 5/4 rip curl insulator with detachable hood bought for 225 for winter...Love the suit...works great. Always liked rip curl since I ripped a sleeve on a full 3/2 when I was a kid and asked if they could make it a short sleeve. Figure I could of probably cut it myself, but sent it to them with a note...they cut and sewed it...no charge. Love rip curl.

    Thats pretty sweet that they did that. I have a ripcurl tide watch and I pressed the button under water (Yeah I know dont tell me about it) sent it to them and they fixed it for free.

    Brah, which RC watch do you have? I scored the Pipeline tide watch off Whiskey's at 75% off.

    Props on the wetty thread btw. Best (only good one, actually) since I've been here.

    Oh yeah, Dune - please answer Doug's question from earlier in the thread. He was being polite and sounds like he's got a cool story you need to ax him to tell us all.
