Hasn't happened to me, I just assumed that's what they did.
....or would do if you were them.
I've always used a non transponder key. A lot of cars have a set. If not I've got them cut for regular key prices. Thinking about getting a new car so I will have to look into that again.

My quik ag47 is warm and flexible
By Crikey it's got a tight codpiece, but
Really? Mines really loose. Must have a design fault.

Mine is a nice snug fit.
Took the AG47 out for the first time today and it passed the duck dive test. Based on one session, I'll say that It is by far the best wetsuit I have ever owned. It is as flexible as a certain blonde in my yoga class.
I also had no issues getting the zipperless wetsuit on and off.

It's more designed for women I just read above.

Independent = a couple of ex Billabong boys saying to themselves "fcuk this noise, we can do it ourselves"
quite a bit of that going on right now, a trend somewhat started by Need but being carried by a bunch of little labels, run by ex employees of big surf labels who've learned the ropes of designing and sourcing.
Good for everyone I reckon. Cheaper suits, still v good quality, just less overhead means lower prices. It does have a shelf life as a trend though.

yeah, I figured they were slipstreaming in Need's wake.
Suits feel a bit/lot more high end than Need.
I want Nightclub Dwight dead in his grave I want the nice-nice up in blazes

I particularly like the Beach Buddy......two ankle straps on one bit of legrope to tether your child.

Never heard of or seen them and it looks like they're based just up the road from me. Maybe very new?

I've had a few patagonias over the last five years. They have gotten so much better over time, and their new ones - the yulex - amazing. Heavy to hold, but not to wear. Very flexible and super warm. Anytime i've had an issue with them, they have replaced the old suit with a new one. Can't ask for much more than that.
Thanks for leaving this post way back when Batoes. I'm in need of a new suit this year. I won't be buying one full retail if I can help it, but will not buy another brand after learning more about how environmentally conscious the company is.
And for anyone thinking about buying one online. I went into the local shop to try one on. I have a been a Medium in ONeill steamers for the last 10 years. I'm 177cm tall, 80kg, wear 32" boardies. Get a Large Short in the Patagonia. Sweet fit.
Go green wherever ya can. And do whatever ya can to keep plastic from being generated.
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

Yeah they are about a third more expensive.
Most of the new gen suit cos like Nche and Deverkos (sp?) go a bit below the big guns but a bit above Need. They are throwing in stuff like fleece and neoprene taping which costs any way you cut it.
I put my hand up for a Patagonia 4/3, the R3 suit I think it is? She's gonna get some testing, hope she can cope.
