    unless you're up in new england, you don't need a suit in late june, july, august, & most of september.
    before & after that, the 3/2 rip curl e-bomb (NOT the pro...the pro is designed to be a "conest" suit & doesn't have the liquid taping & all that...not as warm in the long run, IMO) is my suit of choice...rip curl has always been the suit the fits me best. yours may be different. i know a lot of guys & girls that swear by excel & o'neill.

    It doesn't matter..... I'm guessing u want a 2mm fullsuit for the flexability, so a good alternative is a 3/2 oneill psycho 1 wetsuit, it the most flexabile fullsuit out there.

    do they make no arm full suits? that would be perfect for me from june-sept. the seams of the wetsuit sleeve armpit area always give me a nice rash, so for me its better not to have any sleeves.

    Farmer Johns are nice I had a rip curl on a few years ago . I liked it cause it left my arms with great mobility . Vintage Soul make s nice one I thinks its 2mm and cost around 100-120 dollars

    Whiskeymilitia just had a Rip Curl F-Bomb 3/2 for $122 (66% off the MSRP $370) I think that's the most heavily discounted suit I've seen on there yet.
