Great suit and paddles easily! By kari_trailer from Leucadia, CA on 11/09/2009 Cons: Hard To Put On Or Off Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've always had the Xcel infiiti front entry suits which are a bit easier to get into, but this is the same idea. A little harder to get on than the Xcel but if it doesn't rip the neck after a while, it will be worth it. It's super warm and the ankles and wrists are tight (good!). The suit paddles great for a fullsuit, better than any I've had. I haven't tried the hood yet, but what a great smart option!
By speedy from boston on 09/16/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable Cons: Hard To Put On Or Off Best Uses: Colder Water, Paddling, Wakeboarding, Waterskiing Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: wanted a suit that could withstand cooler north atlantic water temps (40s-60s). this is a well-made suit, with a tricky entry through the neck. not suitable for speedy triathlon transitions! feels a bit thin so i can't judge the warmth without taking the plunge. i returned, sadly.
By Niky Cali Surfer from Los Angeles on 09/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable Cons: Awkward Fit, Hard To Put On Or Off, Seams on legs are tight Describe Yourself: Beginner Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am new to surfing (only a few months experience) I have borrowed mulitple wetsuits from friends and this one by far has the most stretch which is great! the size chart is wayyyy off though. I am 5'9 1/2" and weigh about 155 an average weight for my height. According to the chart i needed like a size 12-14 which was wayyyyy too big. I purchased a size 8 and it was fine. They were out of 8t and that would have been ideal but the 8 is not too short (for all you tall ladies out there) There is one thing I don't like and that is the seams on the legs are much tighter than the neoprene so it looks a little funny. Getting into this suite is not as hard as everyone says. It takes some getting used to and I was worried about it because of the reviews that make it seem impossible but really its not much harder to get into than a zip suit. Getting it off is a little trickier but only the initial part of getting it past your shoulders. Anyway its an awesome suit and NO I mean NO water gets into it.

By Swimming in May in VT from Middlebury, VT on 05/21/2009 Describe Yourself: Beginner Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After reading some reviews of how hard this suit is to get on, I was a bit nervous, also a bit worried that it might not be warm enough. Unjustified concern; if you can put on pantyhose, you can slip into this, and it fits so well, the wrists and ankles seal beautifully. With the hood, I think it is warmer than a thicker suit without a hood and it is cute and stylish to boot. Highly recommend.
By E the cold surfer from Westhampton, NY on 05/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Warm Describe Yourself: Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The people that said it was difficult to put on don't know about wetsuits. This is a climb in model, meaning you have to climb into the top instead of zipping up the back. This keeps water from getting into your suit, aka... you stay warmer. All in all, this is the best deal you will find on this quality of wetsuit unless your sponsored. Highly recommended!
By Winnie Wahine from New York City on 04/27/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Warm Best Uses: Surfing, Swimming Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very happy with this wetsuit. I went to the beach knowing that the water was 45 degrees. I hate being cold. I put the hood on and walked into the water. I didn't get cold for over an hour! This suit is rated to 50 degrees but you can go colder. Love it. Also, getting on any wetsuit that will keep you warm, and the water out, that you can paddle (swim) in, is uncomfortable. They are tight at the wrists and ankles so the water doesn't get in as quickly! Wetsuits should be comfortable in the water and this one keeps the water out entirely for about an hour. Removable hood is a great feature, so I can swim/surf in 45 degree or 65 degree water.
best wetsuit for the price By rambos2ndwife from Huntington Beach, CA on 04/07/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: great suit for the money! sealed and taped is the best.
By the walker from Kensington MD on 02/09/2009 Describe Yourself: Beginner Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I was so excited when the wetsuit arrived. Saddly it was not what I expected. The sleeves were very narrow, and I have small wrists. The zippers are at the neck line and for me that was too difficult to put on. In the picture I kept looking for the zipper and hoping the top zippers were only for adding the hood. I was very dissapointed in the suit and the way it was listed. I returned it.
