It is so obvious that this was made for women and not adapted from a men's suit. The cut is scaled to my body and not too long everywhere. The waist and mid section is really comfortable and no struggle to stretch out. very happy
I could not be happier. I get cold easily. I wear the size 14, it fits me well and I walked through the sizing chart with customer service and it was obvious that I was a 14. I wear a 10-12 in my clothes, do not go by your jean size. Use the sizing guide. I am wearing a skin under my suit and it makes it take 1/2 the time to get in and out of the suit. The skin I am wearing is the neosport and only cost me under $40. My gloves I already had so I bought the boots, the split toe 5mm pro series hyperflex. I have long hair and was worried about the hood and I have no issues, I just put my hair back and I am fine. Very happy with my suit.
I read several reviews and tried on many wetsuits in the shops and to compare, this one fits real body types. The ones in the shops are rigid and they were very difficult to put on. The inside of this suit glides. The way the material stretches naturally makes it so much easier to get in and out of. When the suit is wet, is still light weight where my older oneill suit would hold water. The hood seal is very precise and comfortable. I wear the cryo 7 mil boot and an old pair of gloves I already own. I am warm in 50 water. My ears are happy again too.
I am into a lot of sports and this wetsuit is helping me enjoy my hobby. I am wearing this to surf and swim. I just tried it kayaking in Nor Cal. I love it. I tried an O'neill and another brand and this one hands down was made for a woman and has the best material stretch. Very happy.
