I fell between a few sizes but fit the MS best so went with that. Very snug fit and tight to get into, particularly around the ankles, wrists and neck. Once on it felt great in the water and no leaking. Kept me warm in the cold Scottish waters!

Impressed so far, worn twice in July seas on the south coast. Fits really well and I was Impressed that the inside of the suit (and me) was pretty much dry after 2 hrs surfing.
I’ve got nothing to compare it to, not having worn a modern suit, but reckon it will keep me in the water well in to the colder months - the lining is cosy.
