    Okay, I'm back with another wetsuit question. I am not looking to spend a $h_t load, and I know, you get what you pay for, yadda yadda. Just looking to get a new 3/2 that works. Out of these 3, which would you guys recommend/pic, etc? Thanks!

    Yeah, I'm not going to need it until then, but I figure i'll pick it up now. I've narrowed it down to those 3, so I thought I would see what others thought. The Epic II has really good reviews

    it looks like it's on backwards. Hopefully, her thong is on backwards too.

    um, what we were talkin aboot before was wetsuites and i see all of your choices are back-zip.

    why?

    Why not? I personally have never used a chest zip, is there that much of a difference or just personal preference?

    I've got a FOIL 3/2 chest zip and it works great for me... I think you can actually go in much cooler water with it than what write ups say. I want to say it cost me about $150.00 a couple of years ago from http://pleasuresports.com

    i think they flush less thus are warmer but that could just be me...

    Nah baddy youz right....it might not flush in the beggining but best believe that back zipper will eventually leak like a siv.....

    My advice is to go somewhere and try them on. Depending on your body shape some suites will fit better than others. Rip curl seems to fit me best.

    Thanks for the input, guys! I got antsy and went with the Syncro, back zip. Read a lot of good reviews on it and plus, the return/exchange policy is pretty good with wetsuitwearhouse.

    HA HA HA, yeah, I admit, you are prob right. Oh well, it's just a 3/2, not like I will be in Iceland with it.
