Chest zip. I’m 50. Zipperless is out of the question.
Should have listened about sizing.
I wear a large normally. Should have got a MT. Oh well, I’m sure it will be disintegrated in a few weeks anyway.,
O'neill still makes suits for non hipsters who do not wear skinny jeans and have no a$$
I normally wear a large O’Neill. The Diaper Fart Turbo Bubble is so stretchy it feels kind of loose.O'neill still makes suits for non hipsters who do not wear skinny jeans and have no a$$
Maybe I should just gain 15 lbs.
I really like my 3.5/3mm hooded for OBSF. Do not like my Need 4/3 with hood. 4 surfs in and it feels really restivtice compared to the feral, might sell and get a hyperfreak
@need 4 speed used to get ferals. did he ever say why he's going w/ cyber now?
not sure but I think they're about 200 bucks difference in cost and I just paid far more for a suit than I have in many years so....
Is your Needs the one with the liquid seam tape on the outside? Mine is not and seems fine, but it is not as flexible as my Matuses.
Yeah I've got the one with the liquid seam tape on the outside. I think its the hood attachment is whats annoying me. I can feel the taped seam on the inside right by the bottom of my shoulder blades and feels weird
I've been wearing my 4.3 Feral last 3 sessions(water was mid 50) 3 seasons and still in good condition no leakage and warm. Cyber offered up some custom options i wanted for about a $200 upcharge from my Feral(s) plus true Japanese rubber and construction (treating myself, at my age, could go any day)Tightened up the neck and added o-ring to eliminate flush. Feral are very good wetsuits and I recommend
3/2 or 4/3? I bet you’ll like it. I thought it felt great. Was really tempted to keep it but just a 1/2“ too short in the torso. The feral guy said it could stretch out enough after a few wears, but they totally understood me not wanting to risk it. Saw a couple new ones in the lineup this week. Both guys said they loved them.
Im stocked on the Isurus I kept tho. Zipperless 3mil is most comfortable suit I’ve ever worn. The fit is perfect for me. The cut is fantastic too- especially the way the arms/shoulders are positioned up. The dense Yamamotz rubber doesn’t absorb much water so dries much quicker than other suits I’ve had.
I got the 4/3. If it doesn't fit right it's going back and will be replaced with a hyperfreak
my needs was a bit tight out of the box but what I learned from boz, thats ok. After 5 or 6 sessions in the needs it fits amazing and is quite a bit more flexible.
I'm assuming the feral to be more of a premium quality needs suit.

I'll have to give mine a bit more more of a chance. Maybe I was just grumpy bc the paddle out at OBSF was particularly annoying that day
I think the 4/3 will be nice n toasty for dawn patrols. The yamasamurai rubber certainly has a different feel to others I've had. It's not stretchy in the same way as say e-bomb or tehcnobubbulah, but it is really flexible in the water- almost like a second skin. I love it, so far. Now that I've gotten a taste, I don't know if I'd go back to other rubber.
