HSS has themHad a LOT of good luck with Excel and always pay under 200 clams for em via seshday or whatever.
Buell, had 2, so comfortable, so warm, so easy to put on, but the inside fabric layer would delaminate from the foam rubber very quickly. The fact I never rinse (when I get home, I do flush em at the car) or wash my suits may have been an issue, but I shouldn't have to, man.
I need a 3/2 for down here though, that RB3 for $200 sounds pretty good. Anyone sell Buell's in SoCal?
How's the Dawn Patrol going for you now that the water temp dropped? Was eyeing one over the weekend. Got freakin' cold around here, really fast...just caved and ordered another rip curl dawn patrol 4.3 for the winter. for the price theyve been consistently ok for me so I figure stick with what ya know.
I havent busted out the 4/3 just yet, but I havent surfed since Friday so the water was still pretty warm. still in a 3/2 dawn patrol from last year thats been fine up until this point. i'll give it ago Friday if theres anything to surf.How's the Dawn Patrol going for you now that the water temp dropped?

I'm resigned to getting a new suit now, based on shivering too much yesterday, but only want to spend around $200. Looking at the Need Essentials, the Dawn Patrol and the various Xcels that are perpetually on sale (which always makes me wonder). The Vissla North Seas looked good, but not sure they even make that anymore...
L should be fine. Billabongs run small IMO. Needs seem pretty normal size-wiseAnybody have feedback on NeedEssentials sizing? I wear a large Billabong Furnace, which fits me fine, but I'm right on the cusp between large and XLS on the NeedEssentials size chart. Curious if they tend to run small or not...
finally busted out the ripcurl dp 4/3 this morning. was really warm - was moving around quite a bit and not to many long lulls, but so far so good. felt light and stretchy enough. wouldn't say it was necessarily cold this morning though and I def couldve gotten away with the 3/2.How's the Dawn Patrol going for you now that the water temp dropped?

depends how long your limbs are and if you're a legit barefoot 6'0", maybe go into a shop to try the suit on and look for a better price online somewhere. you're at the lower end of the sizes range so better to try before you buyAny of you know sizing for the o'neill hyperfreak? I'm 6'0 ~160lbs. Cleanline has a medium Tall in stock, but their size chart says 6'1-6'3 so Im wondering if that will be too long.
Alright good to know. I am legit 6'0 barefoot, legs long but shorter arms. Being on the shorter side of the size guide had me worried. I'm in Norcal so I should be able to find one in shop I feel. Thanks!depends how long your limbs are and if you're a legit barefoot 6'0", maybe go into a shop to try the suit on and look for a better price online somewhere. you're at the lower end of the sizes range so better to try before you buy
you'll probably be good in the MT, cant say for sure but there's a good chance it will fit decently. Xcel fits a bit shorter and the new channel flex is very similar to the O'neill techno blubber, I switch between the two brands and at 6'1" the xcel is a bit short while o'neill being just right in MT.Alright good to know.

I'm 6'1" and have found I fit in L better than LT. With your weight at 160 I'd imagine looking at a MT instead. Try and find the other measurements like chest, waist, torso. Some brands offer those too.Any of you know sizing for the o'neill hyperfreak? I'm 6'0 ~160lbs.

Oh kk awesome, this is great as I used a MT Vissla 7seas for 6 months in NZ and it fit perfectly for me.Vissla's height range is the same 6'1 - 6' 3 on MT's and the arms start receding a little after paddling. I didn't have the same issue with my past chest zips compared to my new no-zip. It's a pretty minor move (3/16"?) on the cuffs. I still really like the Vissla (4/3 High Seas). Rip Curl's MT arms are at least an inch and a half short of my wrist just standing in a changing room.
Yeah the weight/waist/chest measurements all look good for me for the MT. I actually used to run a L Pyschotech back in the day but I was 175lbs and only surfing on weekends.I'm 6'1" and have found I fit in L better than LT.
