    I know we are trying to stray away from grammatical errors on here and whatnot, now. But as surfers, we should all be aware that we wear wet "suits" and not "suites". A suite is on of those things you stay in at a hotel, with multiple rooms and possible a kitchen. This was getting out of hand emass. Sounds like you need a suite to house all of your suits.
    Sorry for interrupting. Go back to bragging about how much neoprene you all own.

    xcel 5/4 drylock hooded
    quiksilver3/2 syncro chest zip
    5mm quiksilver ignite lobster claw gloves
    3mm o'neill booties, idk which model
    gotta get 7mil gloves and booties for dead winter

    and any pair of trunks i can get my hands on, that stretchy sh!t is all a gimmick unless you like wearing your trunks as capris and need them to strech at the knees.

    Is it ironic that we argue about usa handmade shaped boards vs. overseas boards but everyone is totally stoked with a stretchy new wetsuit(e) made in china (myself included)? Just a thought.

    i agree w/ you. the problem is that while it is pretty easy to get a locally made custom board, that's not the case w/ wetsuites. sure, you can find domestically produced suites, but they are almost all exclusively west coast operations, or they suck & aren't worth it.

    Fixed that post about proper grammar for you. The comma can be challenging. I think you wanted italics and not quotations.

    xcel dry-lock 5/4 hooded
    xcel infinity chest zip 4/3 (go-to)
    xcel xzip 3/2 short sleeve full
    xcel drylock 5mm boots
    xcel drylock 5mm gloves

    Been using xcel products almost exclusively for about 10 years. Never disappointed. As a plus, knowing how they fit I can order on Whiskey militia in the off season and score them for 1/2 price...
