I bought my suit and it was shipped for free and I saved $36 in tax alone. I was assisted with my sizing and selection and we got it right the first time. When shopping in local shops there are only one or two sizes available and one or two suits to choose from and they were more than double the cost. The employees of the local shops barely know anything about wetsuits. They just sell them to make extra revenue. While I appreciate and understand this, this is not where I am going to buy my gear. I spent an hour with a live chat agent who taught me everything about wetsuits. I read the buyers guide on details and felt good when it came time to make my purchase. I like high quality gear at fair prices. I will shop here again. I outfitted my family and we also purchased our SCUBA gear here as well. I created my own package and they gave me the best deal in the USA. Great suit, great company. Thank you.
