Gotta say I'm digging mine, fits tighter than the RB2, and maybe a bit warmer. It's tough to beat the Buell at their price point, I'll always have one in the rotation.

Oh.
Well, that sucks. Was yours hooded?
Good to know. I got that 4/3 Quik Synchro for $150 last year and it has more or less serviced but it's starting to show some wear and starting to chafe in neck area. I can probably stretch it another season.
I'll check those suits out. Now, as one of surfing's forgotten children, if I can find something in an XLT somewhere, I'll be golden.
edit: Fuck it. Respect your opinion sbd for sure but I need a thicker suit. Pulled plug on a 5/4 hooded hyperfreak ($25 more expensive than 4/3). Amazingly found one in an XLT in Oregon and pounced. Hopefully it fits well and is not a Hyperleak. Bad naming scheme if you think about it; not as bad as selling a Chevy Nova in Mexico but that rhyme isn't far off.

no worries, I get the thickness. I mean we all need to get stretched right? Oh wait, which forum is this?
If I lived on your hood I'd opt for the premirum stuff, but that's just mr

Hyperfreak 4/3 hooded lasted me about 20 sessions before it went to sh!t. Ripped a couple times pulling it on.
Soaks up water like a sponge.
Best wetsuit I’ve ever had…
…for 5 surfs.
I needed a back zip fixed once. I checked her as she was recommended for Matusagucci suits. She wanted some astronomical price to fix a back zip; maybe $100. I took it to Reef Wesuits in Westminster. $20 and still going strong.
I had decent luck w/ my 5/4 hyperfreak hooded. lacks some of the premium touches of the Psychotech but overall warmth and flexibility were about on par.
for someone like Kento coming from a 4/3 quicksilver i reckon it will be a pretty huge upgrade.

I bet she's heard of a matcha chai tumeric pea protein smoothie with a shot of wheatgrass though.
In my experience they don't do well in wind. Excellent fair weather suit and nothing is more flexible, at last what I've worn.
The mutant is an excellent combo of the techno butter with the chest panels and upgrades to make it warmer. Still in insanely flexible suit.
I wish the would make more suit options with chest panels at the lower to mid price range.

I've never used one.
You think you're better than me don't you
I was going to get one last weekend. I couldn't find a 4/3 LT suit of any brand anywhere and they had them in stock. Trevor Gordon said he's been wearing one and that they're good solid suits.
Day before I was going to drive to SB, my local shop let me know that had a 4/3 hooded LT Vissla High Seas, so I bought that.
