There are parts of this wetsuit that are outstanding and parts that are questionable. The stretch is exceptional and allows for super easy movement. There is no restriction whatsoever which is great for surfing and what I use it for. I was plenty warm, but the water is at the higher temperature around these parts in the upper 50''s. The neck velcro gave me a major burn. Im not sure if I fastened it incorrectly the first time around so I will pay closer attention to it next time. If it still gives me a burn, then this suit will be useless considering how bad the burn was. The big question marks I have are: How long will it hold up? I have seen comments where the suit may start to leak and tear after a year our two, which would make this suit a bust. How warm is it in cold water? Is the neck velcro a design flaw or user error? If all of the these questions are addressed positively, then this suit is a grand slam home run. If not, then it is a useless suit and a complete dud.
