Pretty much. My suits almost always wet but I find putting dry suits is when it helps the most. I just throw a bag the box I use for my suit.Always? Sometimes I do if suit’s wet and I happen to find a bag
I sent them an email and they posted my credit.My Isurus has been received by them on 12/3 and still not credit. Might have to email them if I don’t get soon. Don’t like that they did not even bother to send an automated email that they have received the suit. But understand everyone is short staffed and overworked so I will chill.
Always with my thicker suits especially. Otherwise it's a chore to get my feet through. Plastic bags are hard to come by in NY so always bring some back up when I visit my folks. Keep a stash in the truck.Am I the only kook who always puts a bag over my foot? Ripped one wetsuit struggling to get my foot through and pretty much always use something to slide thru now.
Shoot I'm 6'3x180ish and still wear MT. Perfect!If your tall 6’3”
if you weigh 165-170
Stop your suit search and purchase an O’Neil MT; the fit and flex is unsurpassed.
trust me, I have tried on MT’s & LT’s in most of the major brands.
Isurus (LTS), Feral, Billabong, Excel, Buell, Volcolm, Ripcurl, Quicksilver.
Closest 2nd choice fit was the Volcolm LT but the arm length came up short and a bit baggy.
I settled on the O’Neil Psycho One 4/3 Slant Zip for this winter over the Hyperfreak.
My 3/2 Hyperfreak fell apart and got cold, and I did not like the fit of their 4/3+.
Psycho One is the winner.
the whole process was a royal pain and did cost me a few bucks in shiiping fees.
overall, well worth the time and effort.
Now need waves!
warm enough for any conditions you'll ever encounter in Riverside countyI just got a Hooded 4/3 Hyperfreak by O'Neill from the wife as an early christmas present. The suit feels sick! Nice and stretchy... but a little thin in the hood and throughout. Anyone have one of these? Just wondering how warm it actually will be.
My 3mm comp hyperfreak is plenty warm for 805 so I think you should be fine in those frigid SD temps and plus ya can still get wifey to score gloves and booties for stockingI just got a Hooded 4/3 Hyperfreak by O'Neill from the wife as an early christmas present.

from my experience the Hyperfreaks are always a little less warm than their less flexible counterparts, but that's the tradeoff you get. the hooded 4/3 should work plenty fine in Oceanside thoughI just got a Hooded 4/3 Hyperfreak by O'Neill from the wife as an early christmas present.

I just got a 3/2 Plus and it's really warm (for the 805). It's surprising how warm it is for how thin and flexible it feels.I just got a Hooded 4/3 Hyperfreak by O'Neill from the wife as an early christmas present. The suit feels sick!

Hyperfreak comp you notice only when its windy and long lulls between sets but no wind "light" plenty warm and worth flexibility no liner.I just got a 3/2 Plus and it's really warm (for the 805). It's surprising how warm it is for how thin and flexible it feels.
I went with a size on the smaller end, M instead of L, and it fits like a glove.
Nope. Will extend the life of your suit.Am I the only kook who always puts a bag over my foot?
No comparison between the Buell RB series and the Hyperfreak. Hyperfreak, or better yet Psycho One, hands down better suit(s) then Buell.Just snagged quite possibly the last 5.5/4 Hyperfreak Size L in PNW. Its a good suit and plenty warm for low to mid 50s. Lightest and flexiest I've ever had. Also have a hoodless 4.5, which is also doable down to the mid 50s when paired with hooded rashie vest as long as your surfing and not sitting. Seams last about 80-100 sessions, at least that was my experience. My old one started leaking in usual arm pit area. Still a good backup for a 2nd sesh dry suit and warmer days. Almost pulled the trigger on a Buell and I probably would of, but my size sold out over BF even though there were zero deals on wetties. Buell definitely felt heavier and prene not as soft and stretchy, but the price was right. Sure price will go up on those. Wanted to check out and try on mid range DaKine Mission but never got around to it. Starting to see them around here. I'm set for another 2 years now.
