Men's Nieuwland 5mm Yulex® Hooded Wetsuit

Amazing suit. Third one I’ve had and by far the best. Would love to see a summer suit or even wetsuit jacket.

This is my first Finisterre wetsuit, and I have only used it twice so this is an early review (so unable to cover durability etc).

Warmth - this wetsuit is the warmest wetsuit I have used. I’ve recently had the O’Neill psycho tech which is also good, and perhaps a little lighter than this one, but the Finisterre is warmer.

Fit - I’m a large in all different brands and the large in this fits me perfectly (I’m 6’1, 43 inch chest, 34 inch waist and weight 88-90kg).

Getting on is fine. Getting off the shoulders is a little difficult but doable alone and I understand this should get easier.

Yulex - No issues with flexibility or otherwise.

Overall super impressed with this suit. It’s only early December so sea will get colder but at the moment I have had to take the hood down a few times because of the warmth.

I’d def recommend this so far, early days but all good so far. Will consider getting the 4/3 for Autumn / Spring.

I would ignore reviews or earlier versions of Finisterre suits as I think a lot has changed on this one, and it seems they have nailed it!

My third finisterre hooded suit and it’s evolved well from the original tester suit.

Only had one surf in it so far, but really warm and much more flexible in the shoulders than previous suits.

Only complaint was that I could feel a bit of cold water flushing into the crotch when sitting on the board, but perhaps that will stop as the rest of the suit stretches and puts less stress on those seams?

We’ll see.

Just worn once. Good fit form the size predictor. Great quality as expected. Still tight to get out of. That may ease a bit with time. But that probably helps keep the water out and the heat in
