    Sup dudes, im about to pull the trigger on a new wetsuit but I want to keep options open before I drop the dime.

    Score one on whiskey thats too big/small? Work at a shop and get sick deals? Are you a gnar dog and sponsors throw rubber at you?

    Im looking for new / like new 4/3 or 5/4 in size xl (im 6'1 190ish). I'm no noob so I dont want any junk, but i do love a deal.... POST EM UP!



    Thanks,

    The Stud

    Oh yeah, if you want to barter iv got a soma single 6'6 airbag and a canon digital rebel + lenses i can part with- just ask

    2010 Body Glove Vapor 5/4/3, the only thing is a size Large.
    The size chart from their website:
    L 5'10" - 6'0" 180 - 200
    I'm 5'11" at 195 and fits like a "glove"
    Used just a handfull of times, only $250.
    If you want to try it on.

    West Lotus size L. Hooded 5/4. Worn about 3 times.

    same as above: size chart from West: 5'10" to 6' and 170 lbs- 180 lbs.

    Might be too small.

    Would be willing to work something out for the camera.

    Let me know.

    go new

    i would always go with a nice, fresh new suit. its worth the investment. the idea of a used suit is kinda gnarly i don't care how clean it smells or how little they used it. Can't go wrong with XCel. its worth ever penny and will last you a long time if you take good care of it.

    what i always do is buy last years best models at the shop during the middle of the summer when they're just sitting around marked down because they're out of season. usually get my 4/3's for like 200 bucks off.

    Yeah, me too. I really expected my suit to make it another winter but...

    I hate to buy an entry level suit from a shop almost as much as i hate to pay full price on a nice one. It sucks because I passed up so many sick deals on whiskey over the summer and my local shops are busting balls right now. 3 weeks before christmas is an awful time to buy rubber. I just want something to get a few sessions out of between now and the end of the season blowout sales where i can hopefully catch a deal on that r3 that iv been drooling over. Cant do it at $549 though.

    @ guys above, im not ignoring you, but im pretty confident in my size. Thanks for posting up dudes!

    I got an R3 on a nice sale from Cleanline surf shop at the end of summer and it has been well worth it. I'm 6'0", 185 and the L fits great. Patagonia tends to run the sleeves and legs long.
