- Liam B.Verified BuyerReviewingMen's Nieuwland 5.5/4.5mm Yulex® Chest Zip Hooded WetsuitI recommend this productWhat is your usual men's clothing size? LRated 4 out of 5 stars34 minutes agoOutstanding build quality and warmth, limited mobility
Have used the suit for approximately 25 sessions.
My main point of comparison is O’Neill suits of which I’ve had several but skin irritation after lots of time in the water led to me search for an alternative to Neoprene.
Fit: As per the size guide. I went with a ML due to being a more ‘athletic’ build and wanting a suit slightly larger around the shoulders and chest area. As Finisterre say the suit does fit slightly smaller than it should for the first 10 or so wears.
Build quality: Outstanding. The whole suit is superbly manufactured and well designed. Seams and zipper are far better quality than any other suit I’ve owned. 25 sessions and it still looks brand new whereas other suits would be beginning to show signs of wear and tear on the seams. I’ve heard that it’s a suit that will last multiple winter seasons and the build quality corresponds to this.
Warmth: Again outstanding. The warmest suit I’ve worn by a good margin. The cuffs on the arms and legs are very tight which eliminates any flushing. The hood when tightened does not flush either. The suit is designed for UK winter conditions and it shows. I’ve actually been slightly too warm despite being in ~10 degree water with a cold wind.
