    Yeah I just saw that on their website. I was looking at Wetsuit Wearhouse and they're the ones that don't have it. I'll have to check other retail sites.

    edit - its on Amazon for $270

    Nah none of mine have worn out quick. My oldest suit from them is 3/2 flow (older model) and is problaly going on it 5th season now . The only thing thats wrong with is the lettering as coming off. I got a 4/3 thats on its 3 rd season and my new 5/4/3 Flow and I got a 1.5 mil long sleeve top for windy days in the summer. I never had any real issues with seams giving out , zippers breaking or neoprene dry rotting or ripping .

    They all have really nice strech and they are really comfortable. I got a pair of there hot socks all I can say is wow I thought my feet were warm before in my 7mil boots they were sweating today . Plus with the hot socks you can get you feet in and out of you suit easier

    As did I... I Sorry MATT I canceled my Hyperflex order and went with a 6/5/4 O'neill Heat for 300$. I couldn't wait. I am very happy with the new suit it was sooo very warm. I never felt that warm in january before! I lasted 3 hours out there today and could have lasted probably 3 more.

    It sucks that I had to spend 300 bills for a new suit, but its far much warmer than my 5/4 oneill heat. Big difference.

    Some of the older lower level suits were crappy. I had a 3/2 with zero superstretch and I hated it. I'm thinking a 4/3 for $150 would have been made from the same material. That said I had a few oneils that were lower level suits that had the same problem, tight, no stretch etc. Before I started buying Hyperflex I tried on a lot of suits, from oneil, ripcurl, billabong, excel. When I tried on one of the better hyperflexes it felt just like the excel and was over $100 cheaper. I took the chance, got more than my money out of it, and now have nothing but Hyperflex suits.

    i wouldnt call hyperflex a lower level suit just because its cheap (actually inexpensive) and doesnt have as great teams as other companies but their quality is good if not better than the high level suits

    Ugghh, that's not what I said, I said the older Hyperflex lower level suits. And yes they do have lower, price point products that were and are crap. I have owned 5 of their suits and still own 3 so I understand that they are not all lower level.
