can anyone explain what is going on with companies and their 6mm suites? i know there's a supply chain thing going on, but if anyone has any info on the shortages and/or when suites might become available againe that would be helpful. my 6mm has seen three winters now and dragging my hand in the face is 100% sure to get a solid flush from loose cuffs.
All I know is that in the building trades, the supply chain issues are real. Material And finished product is all backed up. I see freight tankers stacked up I'm the water waiting to get to port. Makes sense that wetsuits would also suffer.
if this helpful, from Feral's mailers: 9/24- The first batch of 2021/22 suits are on the way but shipping has gone from a challenge to a nightmare. The ports are now backed up at record breaking levels due to the pandemic (as seen in photo above). 10/20 - The first batch of 2021/22 suits are now sitting in a container on land, but they're stuck there due to complications in the global supply chain. Normally, we receive our shipments within 3-5 days of the ship landing in port. That number is now 40 days and counting. situation probably applies to most brands
George H.W. Bush created the neoprene-demic at a wavepool in Wuhawn, Texas to distract from Canadians taking control of the global maple-syrup-based wax market. It's a conspirasea.
I'm R-anon, q is my employee. I control the flow of neoprene, velcro, and zippers on a global scale. Right now I have jumbo jets shooting chemtrails into the sky to make the winter even colder and to drive wetsuite sales. Later this year I am releasing a line of aluminum foil lined wetsuite hoods for tru patriots that aren't asleep to the truth about surfing. Not woke though. Awake but not woke. Because that make sense. Resistance is futile.
My new wetsuit supplier, needessentials -> https://www.needessentialsusa.com/ Legit great wetsuits, no flair, no advertising, responsible, my kind of company. And you can score a new 6/4 for $275.
Water temp is 62 F.. Air is 38 to 45 F.. Wind 5 knots... chill Low 30s to 20...What would yall wear.. Still Rockin the 3.2 with a hood but I only last about an hour.
4/3 with a hood , 3 mil boots and gloves will give ya 2 hr heat session . Antoine ever surf up here in the winter ?
I would be in my full winter gear (remember i'm in southern NC): hooded 4/3 3mil boots 1.5 mil gloves
I'm old, don't have a 4/3. 5 mil. Hood up light boots no gloves. The air Temps and wind today warrant thick rubber. If it was milder around here 3/2 hooded vest. Boots and gloves. Water is still crazy warm for Thanksgiving.
Also today warrants a home base suit up. I can handle a suit down outside. I will also be thankful heated seats
I swear to goodness I don't know how you guys do it! I just can't imagine that cold water and having to wear that much rubber. Maybe I'm the biggest sissy on the planet but I'm fortunate to live in Florida and have a place South of the border so unless it's a spring suit I'm probably honestly not going to put it on. But I do enjoy looking at those pictures all those waves you guys get up north they sure are sweet
You know what's weird? It doesn't bother me as I don more and more gear as the temps drop. the 1st go out in shorts weirds me out. It when the water hits the back of the knees and then the boys unimpeded.
