    I had an oneill 3/2.

    Hated it would not buy oneill again.

    Rip curl and xcel are much better.

    suite in a suite was before taped and sealed seems. just stitched then . Those were the good old cold days in the past . Yeah 5/4 is a steamer , even in 38 degree water .

    I have tried rip curl, body glove, and xcel

    xcel 5/4 drylock is the best
    everyone I ever talk to a bout a 6 mil says its too hot

    2 hooded 4/3 xcels and a hooded 5/4 saw me through EVERY swell with warmth and comfort, rarely had to put on a wet one (the bane of winter surfing)

    since this is a wetsuite thread,does anybody know any surfshops in new jersey from central to about point pleasant that carries hyperflex suits?im in need of a new 6/5,have about a $350 budget.havnt bought a new suit in almost 5 years,and it was from derf whos shop in sb got destroyed by sandy.i don't like to cross the ocean county Dixie line,different breeds down there I do not belong.

    im not too familiar with the prices these days its been a while,any decent quality suit no matter what brand il take.I just know hyperflex is cheap and its what I been using for years
