That 7 till 8 is way too expensive for what you get, IMO.
4/3 Cyber is $600 with all the extras I add (smoothskin, fuzzy liner, a couple of extra stress patches, neck gasket).
A barebones comp style 3/2 full is $430.

I am ALMOST trolling sbd here but...
really, neoprene has names?
That's a clever way to charge more.

The quality is fine. I bought a jacket with the premium rubber. 2/2 short sleeve/ 3/2 full suit at the big factory sale they had one time.
The problem I had with them is the fit was slightly weird. Torso slightly to long. I liked the suits though. Custom fitting would solve that issue. The jacket get's the least use, so it's still going strong. I liked the rubber on that one a lot.
techweenies gobble up all the marketing semen up. your $700 dollar suit may be marginally warmer and durable than one a 1/3 of the price. i'll buy 3 of the lower quality suits for your 1 and they'll end up lasting at least twice as longI am ALMOST trolling sbd here but...

What's even better is when people drop that kind of coin for 61 degree water.
They also love
Recycled (I’m stopping global warming)
Limestone based (oil bad!)
Water-based glues (all around safer for the environment and the body. Like Elmer’s that they used to eat when they were kids. )
BTW aren’t you a tech bro?
I run a small business that is e-based. Never was a corporate tech bro wanker, I despise people too much to work in an environment like that
It's like that in every circle of hobbies, the latest and most groundbreaking tech is rarely so. wetsuits have definitely come a long way even in the last few years, but the highest tier stuff is never the best value. ordered some dakine suits the other day, we'll see how they go in the next few months.
Bonus that it also doubles as an antacid!
(if you burn them enough times, you can watch them eat their wetsuit in vain)
But you are a tech bro. That’s what’s allowed you to become so deeply involved in crypto.I run a small business that is e-based. Never was a corporate tech bro wanker, I despise people too much to work in an environment like that

more so that I spend a lot of time on the computer so it's easy to intersperse research with working. I denounced crypto until the end of last year. bought some BTC around 20k to purchase something, forgot about it for a few weeks and went to send the payment and it was double what I put in
dove in and after some brief research started to go balls deep
What's your e-biz?more so that I spend a lot of time on the computer so it's easy to intersperse research with working.

The amount of smooth skin you can get on a Cyber looks really good, that would definitely make a difference. I had a couple of nearly all smooth skins in the 80s and they were warm, but they are not made like that anymore. Now most companies only offer a chest or back patch in which case other things become more significant.
How does the neck gasket work?
There is a thin initial flap you pull over your head and snap it to the chest panel before pulling the main flap over and zipping it. There are a couple of small weep holes that get rid of any water that travels between those flaps.
It works really well.
Time to sharpen the harpoons for bigger game. When do you think we'll get some on-spectrum poster in the Foil Forum, loc: Kauai, who isn't a tech bro, but their e-biz was basically a Harvard-specific Hot-or-Not that just kind of took off?
new Buell 4/3 RB2.
It felt a little snug in the shoulders on the first surf or two, but felt better yesterday.
