Winter Suits 2006/2007/2008

QUOTE (High Pockets @ September 26, 2007 01:10 pm)

I had a pannel rip and I contacted the shop i got it through (bundoran surf co) who sent it off and the pannel was replaced and reinforced, then proceed to wear the suit for a large portion of the autum/winter/spring (twas a 4mm) and after about a year and a half all the inside of the suit started to come away(the light lycra stuff)

So chancing my arm I brought it into tubes and said how disgraceful it was from a top wetsuit company and the lads told me to go fuck my self but would send it back if I wanted.

Xcel came back a week later saying they had never seen it happen before but because I was such a "good" customer(told them I have the 5mm and the hooded rashie I was very happy with) they gave me a new 4mm at cost

Not the attitude they took with me, I was pushing for a replacement even If I had to contribute towards it, and they wouldnt budge. Maybe now they feel that the brand is big enough to forget about the little guys?.

Anyway, the upshot is that I dont feel as though I can buy or recommend them.

This was only bout 2months ago, dont know what to say to you.

My 5mm is going into its 3rd season, tis showing a bit of wear but il still get most of the winter outta it

wow TSU, those 800 babes in a bondi swimsuit photoshoot totally made my day man, well worth getting caught by my boss - the "er it's a wetsuit review, honest!" almost cut it, almost!

(it's ok though, my boss is cool - even collects my windguru from the printer for me sometimes!)

800 chicks in Bikinis!!! Unbelievable!! Can you imagine if we tried to do that in Ireland! Not sure if it would have the same (careful to use the correct word here

) impact. Don't get me wrong I love Irish chicks. Sure don't I own one myself!

I reckon you'd end up with something more turkey-ish

That's a fine Shamrock-toe she has on her there

Sweet JESUS

I will bring it back on line, the knees on excel suits are small, positioned poorly, and shit.

How hard can it be for a wetsuit manufacturer to get the friggin knees right?. I think O'Neil would still be the top selling suits of they got this right.

I dont know, i got some mid priced oneil as my summer suit and its complete shit, the tape is going on the seems and the stiching on the knee started to give way after 4/5 sessions
