How true. Shoulders been playing up a bit from getting out of my front zip……and surfing so often I guess. Tempting to go for a paddle today but there’s 200+ in the water.

Yeah, it was pretty shit. Nice to be in the water though. A bit of footage floating around of people “exercising” up the north end. Howls of protest about overcrowding. Fair enough.

Hi everyone. I want to buy O’Neil Epic 4/3 wetsuit with chest zip, but I don't know how warm it is. I can't find pictures of the inside of the suit on the Internet. is there a warm lining and is it on the legs? I would also like to know how they fit in size? Does size M fit M exactly? Thanks

Hey Florid. Not sure about the warmth. But I’ve had a few O’Neill suits and I’m a medium. They were one of the better fitting suits I’ve owned.

My Excel is just going to make it to the end of its third season but I’ve been happy with it.

In my experience O’Neill wetties are amongst the best. A 4/3 is for somewhere fucking cold, you in vicco or something?

Thanks. I, too, mostly always buy size M. but in billabong, size M turned out to be too big for me and I had to return the wetsuit

I have had a couple of O'Neill. I always wear LT and they are one of the longer LT, which is good for my longish limbs. I have a 2/2 short arm steamer now for mid season and it's so good. Pin stripes so it makes me look sophisticated.
Thanks. yes, I'm more and more inclined to buy a O'Neil wetsuit

Anyone have feedback about Aleeda wetsuits? The zip on my not so old O'Neill keeps coming down. Not sure what Ripcurl, Billabong and Quiksilver are like these days. I'm after a backzip springsuit.
