    Bassmon, I’m in DE, water is usually between 38 to low 40’s, just depends on the winter. Yeah, not sure I can find a reason to get a pair when my Rip Curl 5mm do just fine and fit well. But, they do have me curious. Ha

    I actually just got back from a sesh with that friend with solites. His exact wording was "fit great, warmth sucks and everyone i ask who owns them says the same".

    Booties never bother me or feel cumbersome except when they get really worn in. Then they get a bit loose and the toe can sometimes bend and fold under your foot and ruin a good wave. I only own 7mils for this reason. They don't bother me so i just wear the same boots until it's time to not need boots at all. I may get a pair of solites for the warmer weather when warmth isn't a issue soley based off the fact that they are priced well compared to others. But like i said, in winters especially up here in the north, warmth comes first.

    If you watch the video how to form them to your feet and mess it up, just wasted $85. Seems they would be very tight without the sock so I'll wait for O' Barry review.

    No, you just do it again, only don't mess it up.

    The one time I had to wear them, I felt like a Ninja Turtle.
