Other What wetsuit to go with?

[oxnard111]

Hated my Slippery Matrix suit.

I'm loving my new Rip Curl 3/2mm Dawn Patrol suit. Has some of the attractive features of the F-Bomb, but for a lower price. Granted, it isn't an F-Bomb, but it does the job for me just fine.

I just picked up a Slippery Shogun but haven't tried it yet.

As far as ya'll suggesting that he goes to the local surf shop. You realize he lives in Kansas right? LOL...

I agree with these guys, a good rash guard should protect you from the sun, and gloves.
Let us know what you end up getting!

I think for the average recreational rider playing around in a lake, Slippery is just fine. I wear my 3/2 in 40 degree water with a hood and booties and it's all good. Maybe I am just used to the cold. They do have some size issues year to year though.

I used to think that, too.

40 degrees :Eyecrazy:= dry suit.

Nah.... 30s maybe. If there is ice on the lake I'll throw on a shorty and then my full 3/2 suit over that. I just save my subs for the very end of the ride.

Once you have tried a GOOD surfing suit, you can never go back to the lowend stuff. I'm getting a new Ripcurl Fbomb this season. My Xcel I bought 5 years ago also held up very well, but wetsuit tech has come so far since then. New suits are just stupid flexible and warm.

who makes a good john suit?

Jet Pilot Chamber 4/3 cant go wrong for warmth and comfort!

I experienced an extremely strange reaction to the sun while here in Florida on my right arm a few years ago; odd it was, for I have always tanned easily and deeply. It was more intense than regular sun poisoning, and the specialist mummified my arm over antibiotic cream to include oral steroids. I went to San Diego like that, and it became worse, so I saw a specialist there as well, who had never seen anything like it. New meds and some worthy advice were to wean myself into the sun from now on, just a bit at a time at the beginning of each season, and it has worked well. I have not had issues since, so you may wish to try that as well in addition to the recommendations, especially since you can only cover your face so much while out in it.

 

[bobob729]

ya im probably going to have to keep my face cover with a helmet from now on which sucks, but at the same time inspires me to get better and show that its not goin to stop me from what i love doing most.

 

[steve-uk]

i still like my slippery suit


:shhh:
