Makes sense they wouldn't fit you properly, size wise I would think they are made with vegans in mind .Nick Carroll wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2017 10:16 amI have a Patagonia wetsuit sheep, it's a 4/3 and it is very warm, stiff but weirdly comfortable. It holds you as if you were its little baby lamb. Not super hard to paddle but definitely tougher than a 3/2. It's a large yet has to work hard to fit my upper body which seems a little odd sizing-wise. Really strongly made though, anti-fragile like an XCel suit.

First time for me wearing a long sleeved top with 1 mm neoprene front and back panels in indo
The rest of the top is some thick Lycra type thing
Loving it - no rash. No sunburn no sunscreen. Warm in the wind. And cool in the sun because of the retained water

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
You gotta ease in to surfing without a wetty top each summer. Toughen up the trunk.
Re: that wetsuit discussion...
im back to the 90s. gone the full deck grip, so its rashie in summer or guts torn to pieces lol
the upside is forced sun protection. got a dakine long sleeve top. 1.5mm back and chest neoprene,
lycra over top of shoulders and arms. offer some protection against tiger paws on the back in the
south pac this summer as well
Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Might look into those tops. Don't need rubber on your arms in summer here.
Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Hey guys,
Been a bit unlucky getting my hands on a Patagonia suit this winter.
Had look at the Needs essentials site but they are out of stock until the 17th Oct.
Looking at getting a $250 suit to get me through the winter. I wear a medium in ONeill or rip curl. 5'10/177cm and 80kg.
Any suggestions on the best value suit sub $250?

Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Maybe try arzen or derevko?
Re: that wetsuit discussion...
Winter may be but the water temp wont rise for a while. You're right though, I'm better of sucking it up and waiting til next year. Won't be any cheaper though, I never find mediums in the bargain rack.

Hmm?
Never any L or XL in the bargain rack when I look.
Well, apart from the CSkins I got a couple of years back.
