Oregon wetsuit quiver...
1 x RipCurl E-bomb 4.5/3.5 hooded (circa 2016-ish) leaky but better than Xcel
1 x Xcel 4/3 hooded Infinity Comp
1 x Xcel 4/3 hooded Dryloc (2020) garbage
2 x 5mm Xcel Dryloc booties

I've tried on a bunch of Oneils and they just don't fit me, bummer. My wife has several of the Oneil Psycho Tech, loves 'em. I am looking toward some of these fancier Japanese neoprene brands for my next suit. Thoughts on Isurus vs Feral?

5/4 Isurus hooded alpha

switched from dry lock to Isurus to o'neill. I feel the o'neill are warmer in cold water/cold air combo. Isurus are still in good condition so make a good alternate suit if not too cold. Like the Yulex idea but worry it won't do well in cold water so haven't chanced it. A lot of suits but because they are in constant rotation they tend to last a few years each. Isurus are probably 5 years old, oneills 1-3. Pata 1-5.

3/2 Decathlon (a pretty cheap one)

I live in the Canary Islands so really the 4/3 and 5/4 is when I go surfing in Europe. The 3/2 is for winter in the Canaries and rest of the year trunks and a rash vest (for the sun)
