Yeah, that’s it. Gettin off was tight. But I'm sure there's a trick to getting the shoulders out. maybe I'll ask the matuse guy Matt next time I'm in the shop.shoulders and chest are tight as fook. it better relax with a couple wearings cuz it was a freak out mfer getting it off my shoulders
Furnace 'bong 4/3 has nice hood and nice bells and whistles for priceAnybody got a big head (in relation to your body)? LOL The few hooded suits I've tried were tight in the hood. Anything work for you? I guess an O'neill mutant would work if I swapped the hood for another size, but it'd be nice if anybody has found a brand that just works.
How did the Tumo work out? Matuse is having a nice sale on older suits and was thinking about getting one for this winter.wore the 5/4 Tumo for the first time this eve. mine doesn't seem too tight in the upper body so no problem paddling or anything. very little to zero flushing through chest area which is a good sign for the neck gasket thing. the waves were like waist high just for the record. the water was warmer than average so I don't feel like i've given it a true test in the more average to cold conditions we get yet but i was plenty warm. so far so good.
Due to the horns? Your handle makes sense now.Big head (in relation to your body)
ya would be interested in trying one of these RB1 Accelerator Plus, but they don't have my size in stock:How did the Tumo work out? Matuse is having a nice sale on older suits and was thinking about getting one for this winter.
Been looking at BUELL which has a nice price point on new suits ($299).
Hooded 3/3 no-zip Isurus is by far my favorite suit... right now. Freaking warm, comfortable, and stretchy.ya would be interested in trying one of these RB1 Accelerator Plus, but they don't have my size in stock:
I really like my 2mm short sleeve zipperless Isurus so I may just get an all 3mm full one for the winter instead. no need for a hood around these parts though.RB1 PLUS Accelerator 4/3 Fullsuit Men's- Black

Just got a big dome. Runs in the family. I'm a size XL in hats.Due to the horns? Your handle makes sense now.
Yeah, I wear XL in hat size. It's mostly just the top of my head (brow ridge + big bump on the back--maybe some Neanderthal genes going on there). Overall it doesn't look super big like Charlie Brown or something LOLI can only think about "So I Married an Axe Murderer":
Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. Has it's own weather system.
- Look at the size of that boy's head. I’m not kidding. It's like an orange on a toothpick.
- No kidding. His head's like Sputnik. Spherical, but quite pointy in parts.
- Ooh, that was off-sides, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow!

I was looking at the Isurus site, and this seems like just the thing. Would you say their Size Chart and stated temperature range for this suit are accurate?Hooded 3/3 no-zip Isurus is by far my favorite suit... right now. Freaking warm, comfortable, and stretchy.
Thanks for your help. I would get the non-hooded on this one; I just get a good vibe on the overall suit and will get a separate hood if need be. It appears they have free shipping and returns, so I can try it on. I'll contact them though.Yep - but (and I"m being serious here) with your XL noggin, you could have some issues getting into the neck opening. It's a bit tighter since it's a no-zip suit. I'd call Kent or Joyce to speak about it. The suit doesn't flush on me & I love it. Good for cold(er) waters - meaning a temp where you'd normally wear a 4/3.
Again - just ensure you follow THEIR sizing guide. It's accurate. It's not the normal sizing (I'm usually a Medium in most brands, but Isurus I'm a Large/Short).Thanks for your help.
