Not sure how long you been surfing, but wetsuit technology has gotten insanely good. The new 5/4/3's feel like 3 mils compared to those cardboard 5/4/3's O’Neil used to make.

In my opinion Xcel makes the bomb. If you want one suit for all year round, get you some. Otherwise bathe in your manliness

I believe that ripcurl makes 5/3's.

yeah. I keep meaning to send mine in. the one I bought a couple years ago ripped on those same seams across the chest/shoulders. they didn't seperate completely, but they're only sticking on the outside edge of the fabric. When I bought a new wetsuit last year I went a size up and a better model, I dunno, fireskin? It seems to be tougher. I specifically looked for the model with the heavy rubber sealing inside and out.

The Dub is right, wetsuit design and material innovation has made the thick bulky suits of yesteryear seem archaic.

What the hell is a wetsuit? 5/4? 4/3? Is this some new language or code?
