I wouldn't say that...
The Hurley 5/3 from maybe 2016-17 was really warm at the core and really stretchy on the limbs.
It was warm enough for air temps down to high 30s. I really liked that suit.
The taped seams were the only thing to fall apart, and I'm still trying to navigate Hurley repairs to get that thing back in the water. This is where Hurley has failed me the most.
After 2017 the Hurley 5/3's are really thin, and I just use that for short sessions or double dip days.
O'neill has the best repairs in and out of warranty.
Once they sent me a brand new suit while in warranty just for a small tear and a loose neck.
Out of warranty, I've sent them suits where the panels are ripped, $20 per new panel, and a small labor charge to re-stitch and seal. They currently have my technobutter and are fixing the seams, I expect this repair to be around $30. This is why I usually buy O'neill. If you haven't tried their repairs yet, hit up Emmanual, he's the man.
My favorite O'neill product is the Ozone long sleeve rashie with a hood.
When I rarely go surf warm places, I'm that haole boy in a long sleeve rashie.... with a hood.
I look ridiculous. It's also great for floating on rivers.
