Awesome suit

Fits like a glove. Warmest suit I've ever owned. Superior in my view to other branded suits I own which were all a few hundred dollars more expensive.

All time wetsuits on all fronts!

These suits are the best wetsuits I've used over the past 20 years, and I now have 4 of them over 3 thicknesses, These are used on the west coast of B.C. Aside from the ideology and ethos of the brand, the construction methods and design of the suit are bomber for the following reasons: 1) Size - arms and legs are appropriately long so that suit can be snug in the armpits and crotch and still full length at your wrist and ankles, and this allows the whole suit to fit snug to the body. 2) the Hood - hood shape/size includes a proper length in the neck to allow a casual spine while in the suit (unlike many suits) - there's no neck strain. The visor could use improvement, but grace given 3) Seams are burly - (liquid taped I have), all seams are connected in 3 ways, the inside tape and the outer liquid tape are quite wide, notably wider than most other suits, and that yields a strong and long lasting seam/stress point. After a couple years of use only the standard issues have arisen, inside of the knees are wearing thin and elasticity of hood cord is shot, but seams are still tight and tidy.

Due to the solid build and fit I also find I can run these suits thinner than others. For summer months in BC, we've always run 4/3s (on average). This year I dropped into a 3/2 in late Spring and on sunny mid-summer days I'm too warm; I'll need a 2mm for next year. There's a real advantage to the design of these suits on so many fronts and I commend the team behind them!
