U guys sound like chicks shopping for a summer top.
Black hides my muffin top and white makes my boobs look bigger...
Their fullsuits fit me fine as of 3-4 years ago so I wouldn't say they run small.
IMHO the front zips probably suck. Metal right on the deck, all your weight, either straight on or straight next to the stringer sounds no bueno. Denting, dinging...it looks like some hipster fashion sh!t to me.
But the adverts for zip fronts with the hot chicks, slutty countenance, with big, perky, hogans are top notch no doubt.
I love the things with no zip or the little back zip. I have a 2:1 longsleeve excel and a shortsleeve rip curl.
Glorious for the first fronts of fall when the water is still warm but it's windy/cloudy cool. Everyone throws on their shortsleeve fulls with the water 74 degrees and you know they'll be slow-to-the-jump coldsoft pussies come January. Or they'll be rowing rubber in a 4/3.
Glorious for the days that cook it from 68 to 70 in the spring.
Glorious for Treasure Coast/Palm Beaches. You get that air 30s/water 70s thing going.
I always figured I didn’t have enough chest hair for a front zip.
I have this and I haaaate it. It fits weird and has too much room in the traps. It constantly fills with water in the belly. Mine is made in China and I know I saw some posts on here that they moved production to Sheico so maybe they're better now?I’m a big fan of them. Keep you way warmer. Best I’ve had was an O’Neil with a small 1/4 zip on the low back. Made on/off basic.
Now I’ve got this. It’s decent but a bit hard to get off.

At the time I was also eyeing the Isurus top but figured it was worth shelling out >$100 on just a top. Big regret.
Have a 2mil mostly smoothskin Xcel Axis with a small 1/4 back zip that works well. Not sure if they still make.
I don't really like ones with no smoothskin and no zipper. My use case is a cooler morning with some wind so smoothskin is pretty key and they are impossible to get on/off without at least a small zipper. I find the cheaper/thinner regular neoprene with no zip more trouble than they are worth.

have had the older O’Neil with the partial back zip and liked it less than the newer one I have with no zipper no draw cord. old one was stiffer and ballooned with water easier.
+1 on nogo for these in heavy surf. It’ll pull over your head on a tumbling wipeout cord to your trunks or not. Stick to the Kelly Slatan springer there.

Get a hyperrfreak 2 mil lbs spring. Feels like ur surfing naked and chit
I could see why everyone likes the O'neill. It was a poor fit for me though. I really liked the Isurus too. I just didn't want to throw down $100+ for something I only wear a few times each year.
I went with the Billabong Revolution. The fit was spot on and I found a good deal on it.
