I live in San Francisco. The waters here are always cold. My old wetsuit started leaking and I needed a new one. The new suits are off the charts. What I paid for this suit, I paid for a higher end suit 4 years ago. This one would have been one of big shots just a few years back. Am I happy- You better believe it. Also happy I found your site. I have learned a lot more about what is going on with suits now a days. The videos are very helpful. No tax and saving me serious cash over the over priced stores where I live is really appreciated. It is way expensive here and this is my sport. Thanks for making it possible.
