Full Review: I went surfing yesterday at Seaside Cove in my new Hyperflex wetsuit. I was happily surprised to find I was amply warm in the lineup thanks to the new AQ3 thermal lined interior fabric. Getting this suit on is a breeze because of its great stretching capabilities and convenient chest zip... no more having ask a buddy to zip you up! I was more than warm enough in the water and I look forward to many more sessions that may be even colder.
The Good List:
- Very flexible, warm, and convenient.
- Equipped with double lined exterior fusion tape.
- External seams are glued and blind-stitched.
The Not so Good List:
- The duratex kneepads could use some reinforcement
The Bottom Line: Great suit, especially at $239.99 retail. Get more water time!
