I haven't been able to surf much, it feels like Russian roulette picking a wetsuit with all the temp swings.

Agree here in 805 I wear my 2mm ss full most usually from April to June then vest and again in September (sometimes later) to December
I have two of these 4/3s, which I wear year round up here in SF. First one is going on its third full year and still keeps me warm. Worth the $, if you ask me.
Oh wait, I have the Psycho Techs.

I love my Psycho Tech, but I'm not in love with Oneill hoods in general, they flush way to much. I have a mutant, that I really like too, but for me the hood is it's biggest weakness, fortunately I can remove the hood on that suit. What hoods do you guys like, other than Oneill, maybe one of those cap types would be perfect.
I have not worn a hood suit in a ling time but was pleasantly surprised at how well my new 'bong furnace 4/3 front zip performed. I had zero flush on oh windy day and bezt no run off water in eye even though hood has just little rim around. Really like the gasket design and warmth of suit but only time tell how good stands up after a season or two of use.
Who’s gonna try one of these?

After a couple sessions and a few beers it became clear that Buell and Dane share a passion for creating a damn good wetsuit. They leveraged Buell's 20+ years of design expertise along with Reynolds checklist: timeless style, minimal branding, premium materials, no gimmicks, no BS, just a f*ck'n...

I pair an Xcel hooded rashy vest with a 4+ Hyperfreak. Works well for water temps in the mid 50s.

I only see the under 18 subset wearing Buell and is probably why the junior's sizes are the first ones sold out. I hear they're really good suits though.Who’s gonna try one of these?

Yea I've never really liked the branding of them. I was thinking of picking up a 5/4 from them for when I go back to the PNW next winter as they are reasonably priced and have good reviews.
At first when I zoomed in on the pic I thought it was a ladies suit. Then I remembered it was a collab with Dane so you need space for man boobs. finally, a suit built for me. I’m in.
buell can’t help themselves. They the mayhem branding of rubber.
What's up with the double zipper snaps?
1 isn't enough?

great, here comes a thread on zipper snaps
see my post above about man boobs. Don’t want the girls to fly out and give me a black eye while I’m maximizing my hind leg shreddage.
quick question.. I have two pretty significant creases from shipping i'm assumming on my smoothy of a new 3/2 psychotech. will they work themselves out? will they affect the suit warmth wise durability wise? i've had creases on the regular rubber b4 on suits but the smoothy is a different type of rubber of course. i could return it but finding another one will be next to impossible
