Me too. But the footy jumper wasn't wool, just heavy cotton for TRHS.

Long arm springy is what I wear most of the time, good for wind chill and sun protection. Its rare to see anyone in boardies anytime in WA.

I've dropped down to size 30 boardshorts now and still dropping, weight isn't varying much though, I guess the only fat left is around my waist.

I figured it was the lack of sealed seams that made it so ineffective.

will never make that mistake again.

Wetsuits are not worth shit unless they're fully seam sealed or you live in the tropics.
Stitched seams fall apart faster than stitched and sealed seams.

very true, I actually just assumed it was sealed when I bought it and by the time I pulled it out of the bag this winter to put it on it was too late.

also very annoying chest zip design.

the Peak 2/3mm is the best value wetsuit on the market.

one and a half seasons into mine, and it's still sealed tight and was warm enough for tassie until June (12 degrees), it fits like a glove and is so comfortable i find myself in shopping centres and restaurants still wearing it.

sounds scrumptious, where did you get it Braithy?

I might invest in one.

My quik cypher chest zip is the warmest and most flexible steamer I ever had. Better than oneil psycho back zip. Just starting to leak a trickle in one armpit in its second year
