Winter Rubber

your going 5/4/3 right?

Assuming you are and you have the $$ your first choice should be an xcel.

 

i say that with a local shop you can try it on. with online you may save some money though. if you have the money support the local shops but if you do not go to an online dealer. I would recomend a Rip Curl F-Bomb. I would get that if I had the money but hyperflex is cheap well made locally

 

having had 2 f-bombs, i would stay away from them. for whatever reason, Rip Curl can't seem to get their fluid welded seam technology right and I've had torn seams on both suits. they are warrantied for sure but it sucks to send them back when you've got a macking swell on the way.

 

i have some brand new west suits. they sponsored patience and gave me some suits. i am selling them. they have never been worn and still have tags. let me know what you are looking for and the sizes. ill sell them really cheap.

thanks

i rock a hyperflex 5/4/3. for the price the quality is really good. i havent had a problem with it at all and this is going to be my second winter with it. check ebodyboarding.com they have them for cheap

 

I'm interested -- check your PM.

 

I bought a 6/5/4mm Hyperflex FLOW Hooded Wetsuit from wetsuitwarehouse.com last winter and it's been great. Used it plenty of times, and its cheap. Oh and I got a 6/5/4 because I like to stay extra warm.

 

i Say o'neil heat got a 5/3 last fall kept me tosy all winter still holding up great and it was one of the cheepest name brand suits i have

 

the oneil heat is a great suit. used it for the past two winters and it kept me warm in monmouth county no problem, flexible/reasonable price.

stepping up to a psycho freak for this winter though.

that being said..go try some on. each brand is a bit different!

 

Not sure where your located. In OCMD Chaunceys carries xcel drylock 5/4/3 wetsuits at a good price which is the warmest suit i have ever worn. I had a bad experience last winter with a hyperflex...it was poorly made, the seams leaked, ended up giving away.

 

hey everyone,

got a ton of private messages. ill get an inventory list (size and price list) and photos up for everyone either tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks i hope u have my size. Dont have the money to buy a $400 suit this year.

 

thanks man. hopefully you have a medium and in my price range.

 

Bought a 5/4/3 Hyperflex Amp a few weeks ago,I'll let ya know in January.

 

I've become a huge West fan and obviously Xcel is the gold standard. A few guys I surf with user Hyperflex and like them alot. No-one had issue but I've heard that you can take a leaking suit to their factory and they will fix it on the spot.

 

I have a 4/3 Hyperflex AMP that I used with a 3 mil hood and I was fine in it all last winter.

 

...anyone try those patagonia wetsuits?

 

I've only HEARD that they are very well made but very pricey.

(plus I don't support hippies)
