      Best all around suit of all time?

      Maybe! Perfect suit for warm water fun. Easy on, easy off. No farmer tan, but I guess a tank tan haha. Not a lot of people wear short johns anymore, but it was a staple back in the day and I am keeping with my tradition since it is a great style of suit. My last Xcel short John lasted about 15 years and I wore that thing into the sand! Great price, good communication, fast shipping. What

      Xcel shorty

      I've had one of these short johns from xcel in the past. I bodyboard and I use this in warmer conditions nearly every session to both pad my torso and it gives me compression for my back problems.. The last one I had lasted me nearly two decades and hopefully this one will as well. Quality seems great, fit is excellent. I'm 6 ft 200 lb and fairly muscular with a little extra weight. this would fit well if I gained or lost 15 lb for reference.

      Quality?

      I have 5 of these wetsuits. Each one is different. The neoprene on one seems to be old in that it has torn at the edges. One suit seems to be smaller than the others. Or a suit may be larger than the others. The neoprene on some seems to be softer and more stretchable. I guess this is the best you can do.

      okay

      I have a Xcel shorty wetsuit, size small. This new suit I bought from Swim Outlet is a different cut, and the suit fits a bit to tight.
