Winter Suits 2006/2007/2008

If they're still selling them, the West suits that were sold for a song by Loosefit last April are a great suit - my 2 brothers and myself all got one and we're all very very happy with them. I got to finally try mine out last week, and its v flexible - no winter surfing experience yet, but looking forward to it with this suit longboardirl/smileslayer.gif

They have a sale on the summer suits at the moment, was half tempted, but I do like to try suits on first before buying.

I see Jon (puravida) has knocked 30 % off West summer suits now...

Picking up an excel on Saturday, will do a review of the suit.

Where are you getting it?

Green Room lahinch, there are a few of us giving them a go this time around.

I have a 4mm excel and has to be said good and warm with plenty of flex.

Got a replacment fire skin the other week, 6mm with all the bells and whistles.
Havent tried it yet but it looks much better quality then the last one

I was thinkin of getting a new winter this weekend in Lahinch aswell, my aul rip curl classic has served me well but I want something more flexable, I was thinkin of the F bomb or the Physcho 2, any suggestions Im not in the water as much as you guys so maybe something more economical ?

get an xcel if theres any left

Sac and Pig got suits off this crowds sale items http://www.cleanlinesurf.com/home.php?cat=1134
What you think ? Cheap suits there

have a psycho 2 in 3/2 and 5/3. using them the last 2 summers + 3 winters and still goin strong. great flex and no wear and tear. pricey but worth it in my humble opinion longboardirl/smiley20.gif

Im tempted by this http://www.cleanlinesurf.com/product.php?p...cat=1134&page=1 its good value

Have been thinking about winter suit for this year, and was looking at the O'Neills Psycho II (6/4) - The only thing I don't like is that you can't get it without an attached hood. (Is this right?)

So next I looked at the Ripcurl Fireskin which doesn't look like it is available in 6/4, but the Ultimate F-Bomb GB Steamer is

Has anyone else started thinking about this yet and have any ideas ?

that would be seriously hot

had a 5/4 fireskin season before last and I was toasty. Had a failure in one of the seams and got a replacement 5/4 E bomb instead. not as much fireskin lining but good for 2-3 sessions when I had to scrap ice off the boards in eraly jan

As of today(might be tomorrow) tubes are going to have xcel suits.

Should be getting my self a 5mm hooded xcel aswell and alternate them through the winter
