my actual favourite wetsuit cut is the short sleeve steamer, just 2mm and less, keeps the body warm in upwellings but everything feels pretty free in movement

No, I like the short John with a rashy over the top to stop flushing. It’s a revelation!

I quite like my current Excell front zip but my Favorite "wettie" is definitely my Oneill thermal rashie. Polypropylene and just right for a breezy day with no restriction of movement.
