My Feral 4/3 will be on its third winter and hasn't leaked yet, but I'm in SoCal so it doesn't get too much use.Just wondering from Feral owners, how does the upper suit last without seam taping? Does it matter, are you getting leaks eventually? Or are they fine and even more flexible in the shoulders?
For the record, my Carapace/7till8 and Isurus suits seem to be both durable and work great, my go to suits in rotation at the moment. Can't go wrong if you have the money, unless they don't fit.
Thanks.
I like the look of the O’Neill Hyperfreak Fuze 2mm with short arms for surfing in Oz. Anyone got one?Has anyone felt up or have either the Vissla North Seas or the O'Neill Heat (new one with Technobutter)??
I think I paid about $200 each for the Vissla and the Drylock. Got the Vissla at one of the Huntington shops during a sale either Thanksgiving or Xmas and the Drylock from Leftlane sports over the summer when they had a sale.
Thanks for this info. It sounds good, and the newer suits even better. I guess it's the #40 vs #39 Yamamoto. I'm looking at the 6/5/4 or 5/4/3 ...but mostly just want to try the most flexible suit I can get, that has sufficient warmth, as I tend to run cold.

I picked up a Feral 3/2 last fall and it has up great. Oddly, it was thicker and stiffer than my 4/3 from the year before. Picked up a new 3/2 a few weeks ago (supposed to be stretchier) and have only used it a few times, but it has been great so far and definitely stretchier than last year's 3/2.
Haven't had a Carapace/7til8 so I can't give you a comp, but the Ferals have been better than my old rip curl flashbombs, Xcel revolt and infinities, and Oneill pyrotech (I don't think they make this anymore)
I know a lot of people like them but I had a synchro that didn't fit quite right so I sold to my buddy for really cheap and it fell apart in a few months. Probably one full season on it total and it literally fell apart.Does quicksilver suck?
How long are you up this way?57 degrees in Santa Cruz this AM - wore my 3/2 Cyber (no liner) - and despite surfing like complete sh!t I was comfortable.
Second season for that 3/2.
I've also droppped about 5 pounds so woulda been warmer with a little more fat, considering I don't have much anyway.
Until tomorrow.How long are you up this way?
Looked pretty fun there yesterday evening. Size picked up a bit throughout the day. Looked a little jumbled up this morning and a bit smaller, however.Until tomorrow.
Not enough time to get used to the booties!
Rather exhausted after yesterday trying to learn the ropes at the Lane - first time in any sort of real surf since August + sleep deprivation.
Gonna try for more zzzzs now... I'll manage to start taking a look around for some waves by late morning - lemme know if you're wanna surf.
