Moved to Aberdeen and needed something to deal with slightly chillier winds and waters. Fits beautifully and barely feel the water, gorgeous suit, tricky to get into at first but improving with every session.

Brilliant winter wetsuit that will keep you very warm in an Irish winter. The build quality is amongst the very best I have ever seen.

Only two surfs in but warm, really warm. Pretty flexible. Getting in/out is ok once I’d worked out the right series of contortions.
Quality is good, hoping properly stitched and taped seams etc hold up better than a liquid seamed suit as that’s where both my Patagonia suits have failed.
