Awesome. You think the 7 Seas is good enough or would go for the High Seas and pay a little extra?Right on. Just wore it in central coast OH beachbreak and got out sweating.
I don't know anything about the 7 Seas. The High Seas was like $330.Awesome. You think the 7 Seas is good enough or would go for the High Seas and pay a little extra?
I think the high seas are cold(er) h20 suits and 7 seas is more flexible suited if I remember right I was going to score one after not being able to score a 4/3 hooded hyperfreak but scored 'bong instead from cleanlineAwesome.

To confirm for our USA friends, 16 degrees is Celsius, the units of the world!!WTF? You're wearing a 3/2 in 16 degree water? Don't care if that's F or C, that's cold as fark.
Also, regarding "Tiny pinhole leak on inner thigh seam from the start, but it hasn't gotten worse since then."
Why is that even possible with new wetsuits in this day and age??!! Always the weak point, which you think
would be reinforced on every suit made. Only place my suits ever leak.
There are two kinds of countries.To confirm for our USA friends, 16 degrees is Celsius, the units of the world!!
That's the bottom end of the range where I live. In winter it normally hovers around 17 - 18 (63 - 65 F) and I am totally comfortable in the Rippy flashbomb 3/2.
Regarding the weak point in the seams, I agree. The problem is that the "technology" for joining wetsuit panels together is still decades old, despite the fuzzy liners, technobabble3, firewalls, yamamoto #52345 "improvements".
The High Seas' upper torso material is much more flexible than the Seven Seas' on last years' models. My 4/3 High Seas zipperless flap is much easier to get over my head than my 2mm Isurus Shield short arm. I don't think there's too much difference in the lower torso/legs between the High and Seven Seas, but I'm basing that on 20/21 suits.Awesome.

Dude. as much as you surf, for a few more bucks, get the best one you can afford. 7Seas is their basic suit so I’d think you’d appreciate an extra bell or whistle. just my 2 cents.Awesome. You think the 7 Seas is good enough or would go for the High Seas and pay a little extra?
I dont mind paying a little extra, but i've learned that more expensive doesnt always mean better. I mean... for the most part it does, but i just wanted to hear it on here first.Dude. as much as you surf, for a few more bucks, get the best one you can afford. 7Seas is their basic suit so I’d think you’d appreciate an extra bell or whistle. just my 2 cents.
Do you even borscht bro?3/2 to 5/4, if you’re not used to the cold and/or wearing a 5/4, its like fucking with Russian rubbers.
I realize I may be alone on this island, but for me zipperless 3mil is just as easy to get in/out as chest zip- if not easier- because it stretches more. my 2mil and backup 3/2 are chest zip and I also notice my shoulders/ neck don’t get as sore from paddling as chest zip which is the main reason I prefer it. I’ve never been so satisfied by a wetsuit. But you do you, to each his own, etc.@ReForest join me- I just YOLO’d a 4/3 High Seas chest zip…was gonna pull the trigger on a zipperless Isurus but couldn’t make myself pay almost $150 more for a suit, especially if it’s gonna be a pain to get in and out of (zipperless suits never agree with my inflexible shoulders).
Also, gotta save that $ for surfboard YOLOs!
How often are you fully submerged while standing on your surfboard?@sdsrfr DUDE!! I've had conversations with people about this and they think im crazy, but the thicker suits actually maybe you more buoyant from the air trapped in the suit. People have said to liter-up for winter boards, but actually, if you have a thicker suit and thicker board, its too much float.
I had to start doing yoga so I can get out of my Isurus chest zip.I realize I may be alone on this island, but for me zipperless 3mil is just as easy to get in/out as chest zip- if not easier- because it stretches more. my 2mil and backup 3/2 are chest zip and I also notice my shoulders/ neck don’t get as sore from paddling as chest zip which is the main reason I prefer it.

I’ll +1 the entry/exit on the 3mm zip free Isurus. No different than any chest zips I’ve worn. Also echo that the freedom in the shoulders is really good. The way the suit is cut, you kinda feel your arms being pulled along (in a good way) while paddling.I realize I may be alone on this island, but for me zipperless 3mil is just as easy to get in/out as chest zip- if not easier- because it stretches more. my 2mil and backup 3/2 are chest zip and I also notice my shoulders/ neck don’t get as sore from paddling as chest zip which is the main reason I prefer it.

I sized down. 6’0 x 185 (was 180 when I ordered) and I’m in a MT. Every one of my other suits is L.What's the consensus on sizing the Isurus suits? I'm 6'3 x 180 so basically right between LT and LTS...
