that wetsuit discussion...

[Beanpole]

Beans is either bulimic as hell or there's something very suss in Aussie apparel.

Definitely the later. Thermal rashie is the oddest I think. I've got pretty broad shoulders from paddling.

[petulance]

No sizing issues with my Xcel 1mm wetsuit top. Size S again.

[Beanpole]

Funny...I bought both the rashie and the springy from the same store in Forster. Maybe he gets seconds?

Need are now making back zip steamers.

Hallelujah!

Hey Pet I have a virtually new Chest zip quiksilver steamer ( the fully lined one) in small up for grabs if you tire of the zipperless pretzel position

AG47 or Highline version? I haven't gone out in the zipperless one yet. I only tried it on once. Getting it on was easy, I just have to remember how to get it off.

Wrong thread, pet.
And don't worry, you'll remember.

[buddy]

I have the zipper less o'neil. Comfy and no trouble getting in/out.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

Yeah I got one of those bargain ag47s off eBay too. Fit is more snug than my cypher in the same size. Fcuck I hate trying on steamers when it's 24 degrees

[Beerfan]

So my Ocean and earth springy has no key cord or pocket. Tha fkukkk???!!!!

[petulance]

AG47 previously labelled cypher

So Quiksilver's top of the line model went from Cypher -> AG47 -> Highline

Hmmmm. Why the name change?

Need are now making back zip steamers.

Hallelujah!

Back zip steamers? Never again.

[swvic]

Haha, never say never. I thought that - until the osteoarthritis set into my shoulder. Getting in easy enough, but getting out. RC easier than Xcel, but current (Xcel) is the last

[steve shearer]

I've got 2 chest zip wetties at the moment.
They'll be the last I own.

[Davros]

I have an AG47 - so so wetsuit 6/10 score.

[tootr]

1 chest zip and it's a very flexy 2mm e bomb.
All others back zip.
Frizzled rotator cuffs saw to that.

[steve shearer]

I've got mobility fine.

Just don't need the extra hassle pre and post surf for no extra benefit in warmth or ease in paddling.

back zip with batwing and you're styling cuz.

[buddy]

I hate back zips, but I've tried on a cpl of really uncomfortable chest zips. Sharp edges digging in. For you guys with bad shoulders, have you tried any chest zips with the fully detachable flap?
