Hyperflex 5/4/3

niiiiiiice

I'm considering getting the amp 4/3 back zip cause i found it on this website super cheap. is yours front zip or back?

 

I have the same suit, going into it's second year. Love it too, great deal, have used these suits only for the last 3 years and the most recent Amp is super comfortable and warm.

 

you're gonna be pretty hot in that suit until it drops down to about 44 degrees or less.

ocmdsponger, think twice about a backzip in winter water under 52 degrees....too much flush factor.

 

it's cold enough here,now,no one's getting hot.
the new 5 mil amp has entry issues and is a big pain,literally,to put on.
they screwed up.
last year's was fine,and the flow is still good.

 

Hmmm, no problems with my amp. In and out easy as ever.

 

2010/11 5 mil amp?
are you really skinny?
or maybe my shop got a bad batch.
they sent em all back with a flaw.
no one could get them on or off

 

Wow really, mine is fine a 2010 Amp. I am anything but skinny 6'1" 200lbs. Maybe your right though, a bad batch. Was the step in hole really small, or was the left arm not stretchy enough?

Ok, based on what people have been telling me I'll probably go with the chest zip.

 

I have a 5/4/3 HF Flow hooded... got it from wetsuitwearhouse.com. Very diffcult to get on, almost IMPOSSIBLE to take off. Have to stretch it to the absolute limit to get my elbows out of it. Not sure if it is this years or last years though.

 

Yeah I would never buy another back zip suit. Too many bad flushes and zippers sliding down over the course of a session. I can't believe they are still making back zip suits.

 

chest zip is definately worth the money for the winter. and i have the 2010 FLOW, and i love it. super warm and flexible.

 

all i buy are back zips with the batwing pullover design thing and ive never had a lot of flushing and ive never had to fix the zipper in a middle of a session.

 

the main reason im considering the 4/3 flow in a chest zip is because its moderately priced, i can use it in the spring and fall, and i can undo the zipper to allow some water in on warmer days.

 

Where are you surfing? If it's New England to Maryland You need a front Zip in my opinion. I hate back zips because of all the crap suits I had growing up. They may be better now but I will never try one again. Even my 3/2 is a chest zip.

 

i have the same promblem with my rip curl e bomb dont know why like once in it its fits fine not too tight but just getting in it is extremely difficult

 

I get in and out of my 5/4/3 flow just fine I am 5'10 175 I know a cpl other guys who have them and have no issues getting in and out

 

im the same weight and height as you. Do you wear a ML? because im gonna order online and im trying to make sure I get the right size.

 

My Amp is an awsome suit.If I wear a rash guard underneath it makes it a little easier to take it on and off.
