x2 on the R5's just switched over from oneil heat 7mm to the R5's. The Patagonia's are a better fit for me and they are warmer. I'm in RI.
I had 5mm split toe billabong SG's (don't know which kind i forget) but got huge holes in them in less than a year, that's what i get for walking to the beach to surf. But ive been using my 3yr old round toe 2mm Quiksilver ones and i can get 3 hr sessions before i cant feel my feet anymore. love them. Im gonna wait till summer for discounts. sounds like im gonna get some 7mm dry locks haha im in vb though
