Lets hear some opinions on wetsuit brands, both favorite and least favorite based on experience. I purchased a wetsuit from a big name brand less than a year ago and have been thoroughly disappointed, curious to hear some opinions. P.S. if there is a thread that already exists on this same topic, point me there.

I can't help to notice that this is your 2nd post- had you ever considered starting an offical 'hello' thread to correctly introduce yourself? It might help... Just saying.... Some of the guys only like go talk to who they are comfortable with...like who they know. Metard will even require a photo for personal recognition of swellinfo.com thread posters. Ok - great to meet you btw... Are you new around here?
I'll stay away from the Hyperflex brand. I have not had one of their full wetsuits, but the construction of their wetsuit accessories (gloves, boots, hoods) have not proven from my experience to be durable. The main problem has been with seams coming apart.
one of surfings' darkest secrets. ALL the wetsuites are made by the same person in the same factory in the same country. only the labels differ...
My 3,2 rip curl dawn patrol has never let me down. Just ordered a 6,5 hyper flex was pretty cheap hope it'll last
Just ordered a backzip 3/2 Quiksilver Syncro wetsuite. Fits great, lots of stretch and has a flush guard on the back zipper. Didn't spend a bunch, but I am sure it will serve it's purpose. That's all the info I can give ya so far.
Pico da Neblina, Brazil. He uses only the finest goat skin and fur for the lining. $23,995.00 for a large 4/3
Wayne's is white and has "Free Candy" spray painted on it. His other one is colored like a court "Jester".
Just got a Hurley Fusion 4/3 that I'm stoked to bust out. I started this thread because I bought an O'neill Epic 3/2 last March and it seemed every time I got out of the water I found another split seam. needless to say I've contacted them and will be sending it back before spring. Really disappointed.
