Feels like a quality wetsuit and it kept my daughter warm over three October days of surfing in Cornwall. It’s a bit tricky to get in and out of but 5 stars nonetheless!
Quality suit, fits perfect, works perfect. Nice job finisterre.
Great quality and 'almost' a really nice fit. We had to return it as my daughter couldn't get the neck over her head! I really want to recommend, but how can I when it's impossible to get on?
I’ve waited before reviewing this in order to see how much easier it became to get in and out of it on my own. To be fair, a wetsuit needs to be tight, and I am short (160cm) but since I’m long in the body for my height I would probably have tried an 8 or even a 10 had they been available. Had it been a standard neoprene suit I might have just returned it.
It has become easier to fight my way in and out, but I still don’t love it absolutely. We’re all different shapes and sizes so no design will be perfect for all even with such stretchy material. In easier times it would be best to get to a shop whilst they are (briefly) in stock to try the fit.
In summary, if it fits it provides good warmer months insulation for those of us who feel the cold but want to stay in for longer than 20 minutes. The chest zip design means that if you have help available for climbing in and out, call on it, at least until you have got used to it.

Very impressed so far... I haven’t tested this out in the water yet, but the material is excellent - feels really durable - and the suit is really well fitted once you get it on! It looks really smart on too. I’ve ordered a size up to check which is better for wrists and neck opening as these on me are tight - I’m a short 6 but have wide shoulders and wrists so I’ve gone for a 6S and 8S to see if the 8S is a big easier to get on and off.
