The Great Unbiased Wetsuit Review Thread

My mans needs to go back the size chart, ditch a leading X and add a trailing S.
i have that one too, the shoulders loosened up. Now they feel perfect, whereas all my other suits get worn through and stretched there pretty quickly
I suggest reading the last 20 or so pages. We like this topic and welcome the renewed interest.
Update on the crooked 4/3 LT. I'm 6'1" 170lbs. The fit is pretty nice, but I do feel the overlapping layers across my shoulder blades. Other than I like it. A key loop would be nice. I was sweating today in Ventura. I've been warm on cold water and windy days in Oxtura. Nice suit.
I sent in an old suit and got the $50 credit on a new suit. It takes a week or so to get the credit code. Since I like this one, I'm going to send another old suit in to be recycled just in case I need another suit later.

ever notice nobody gets a retro wetsuit to match their retro surfboard?
I’m surprised RC hasn’t rereleased those colors/ patterns in their current suits. Would probably sell
What do we think of wetsuit shampoo? Waste of money?
Do they make the material softer or just get rid of smell?

Never really engaged in the practice but see merit at the end of a season before storing for a few months.
I wonder if it would help with the crusty feeling first time you put them on after a few months in storage. I always feel like I’m gonna tear off a chunk of neoprene putting it on
That's kinda what I'm getting at. last two seasons I've done a good wash with my winter suits and store them in a trash bag once dry. No idea if it helped though. Still seemed a size smaller first time putting them on.
Had to grab some Wifey's orders. Have an old 6 mil with liner that smells like a urinal and stinks up the bathroom.. This suit holds the stank so bad I have to soak it. Seems to be a little better than shampoo.
shampoo works pretty well for the stank. thick suits in cold, damp climate take forever to dry. they can get pretty funky. especially the pissy booties.
dunno if it helps longevity or whatever. I could see it helping before a suit is stored long term.
i think i'm using the Oneill brand shampoo. every few sessions.

You don't have to buy special wetsuit shampoo. Woolite or a small amount of liquid laundry soap will do the trick.
If I was ambitious, I'd do it once a month.
Since I'm not ambitious, I end up doing it twice a year.
