Good 5mil for New England Winter

If you have $4 mil why don't you use it to move someplace warmer? You'll never need a wetsuite again!

 

I got a freshie O'neill 6/5/4 last winter and love it...I forget the model name, but it's all done up got it from wetsuite warehouse for like 300 dorrar.

 

go oneil, you might be able to score last years pyrotech for that price range

 

best bet is to try whiskeymilitia.com if your tied down on funds your not going to find a good suit in that range unless you go to a sale, a whiskey similar website, email the company saying how you aint got the dough(come up with something clever) or steal it

 

I wear nothing but rip curl. Hate excel. Like you Iv just had bad experiences. You could probably get last year's model or whatever for fairly cheap of you know where to look.

 

Always buy 5 mils(at surf shops) in March or April. They are anxious to get rid of them.

Buying the suite at the beginning of the cold season makes it a seller's market.

Buy your Rip Curl T-shirts in October

Buy your Billabong flannels in June.

 

Wetsuit wearhouse
Cleanlines
Both have decent prices for last years and sometimes the year before
Ripcurl is my choice.
I have a billabong 654 and its warm but a major hassle to get in n out of
Oneill n ripcurl were easiest Ive used to get in n out plus kept me warm all winter long. Plus super flexible

 

I have a Ripcurl 5ml Insulator I got 3 years gone by.
Works even in the coldest temps.
Easy on, easy off.
Has lasted in good shape.

 

Go to cleanlines.com I got a 5.5/4.5 rip ebomb for like 230$ in 2013. After maybe two winters with a lot of use its wearing in the groin area, seals going. But I'm getting another. Real happy with it and it's comfy

 

Cleanlinesurf.com, sorry

 

Jeez, none of y'all support your local surf shops, huh?

 

Get all my winter stuff @ Cleanline in Seaside, all of last year's top stuff at up to 50% off. Stay away from Quiksilver, Billabong and Hyperflex

There are 3 Hooded suites on there right now. I've only experienced West Lotus 5 Mil - Still got it after 7 years. I only use it once or twice a year when I come back to NJ

 

Is this the real Scobeyville?

That was pretty clever with the "II"

I am with you on Quicksilver and Hyperflex, but Billabong, I did have a good 4/3 years ago. Still have it.
