Best Fullsuit?
- Thread starter Havoc
- Start date
Agree. Flexible, warm, drys fast, and is not falling apart like my Vissla north sea did last yr.
Hopefully in the same factory as "A Pea In A Pod" wetsuits... Perfect fit for the pear-shaped weekend warrior!
I think Mollusk is the only retailer that carries them. They do 30 day returns on unused suits for sizing. I ordered my usual size from Feral and it was a little snug at first, but perfect after a couple surfs. Based on suits from other brands, the arm and leg length is shorter than o'neill, longer than the only rip curl I've owned, and about the same as xcel at the same size
Question for guys who've tried a bunch of brands - does O'Neill tend to have the longest arm/leg fit in general? In the past that's what I'd found, and it's the reason I've been wearing them pretty much exclusively for years. Any others that are optimized for us talls?
seems to be, MT O'Neill is longer in the limbs and less narrow in the shoulders than Xcel, Ripcurl.
Do you guys actually size up from 3/2 to 4/3??
Would I go from LT to XLT?
I'd be looking to replace my Vissla North Seas 4/3. It's insane to me that they have smoothie on the whole chest-shoulder-neck area. Within the first 3 surfs, it had several fingernail cuts. How the F- are you supposed to get in and out of a Chest zip without grabbing/ pulling on it, especially with such a snug fit? I see this year's model has the smoothie on the chest and back only, but not on the chest zip flap and shoulders- much more practical!
I have a Needs Essential XLT. Supposed to go 6'5" I think. Probably work for someone 6'6" or 6'7". Plenry long for me at 6'4"
Does the market really need another shitty wetsuit?
We already have Billabong, Rip Curl, XCEL, Need, Quik, Hurley (LOL! They get the award for absolute worst "3/2" I've ever put hands on), Patagooch, etc...
they wont be. look at how chitty the patagonia suits are. their other gear is good but wetsuits have always been crap
im 160’and 5’10 oneill med fits perfect. may try a 3/2 feral since yamaha rubber stretches
Their goods are quality and wetsuit jackets are nice. I have a few and happy with them.
Seems idiotic to say they won't be good based on another companies efforts but knowing who that is spewed from makes sense.
