The Great Unbiased Wetsuit Review Thread

[oeste858]

Pretty good. Wore it the past 3 days in a row.
The CONS are the arms pits are a little loose (not exactly sure why) so i got a little arm pit red rub going on. Also, the neck is like a turtle neck and got bunched up in the back and caused some rubbing on the right side of my neck.

The PROS are that it was $60.00 bucks. Its a full 3mm but feels thinner (like a 2mm) and its stretchy. We'll see how long it lasts.

I dunno. sounds like a raw deal to me!

Anyone have more feedback on Crooked? Haven't found much. Seems like a decent deal for yamamoto

Water has been quite warm over the past few days. Been back in the spring suit and loving it.

sounds miserable.

any yammie gloves - with or without a smoothie/liner?

 

[menobrah]

Custom gloves from japan, made of whale penis membrane - .25mm thick, amazingly warm and flexible.

weird to see people say the hyperfreak is warm. That air cuts right through that techno jizz batter

Super comfy suit though.

Mine isn’t particularly warm.

need me some new booties, anything better than Vans? any company make booties with Yamamoto?

 

[Sharkbiscuit]

I don't get the glove hate. It's hoods that are the devil.

funny enough after 25 years of surfing with a hood on for half the year I am totally used to em, but gloves, and then mittens still annoy the sh!t out of me.

Any other booty is better than Vans.

Needs boots have been good so far but did have a little leak first sesh, fixed with some aquaseal (that stuff works amazing). Flashbomb boots are super nice but I imagine they'd get stinky as hell after a few pees

I had never worn a hood until I moved up to NY.
Felt claustrophobic at first. You get used to it though.

I saw that. Good price for yamamoto. Thats why I'm considering but not much feedback.

For me it's equilibrium loss. Balance/quickness just goes out the window.

Just picked up some new 3 mil gloves and 3 and 5 mil boots.

booties fit better with holes in them anyone notice that?

 

[sdsrfr]

hood was not so bad once I got used to the sensation duck diving. hoods are weird if you don’t already wear earplugs, imo.

i never got used to booties. hood no booties FTW.
