I wanted a suit that was well made and kept me warm. What I got was a suit that was flattering and exceeded my expectations. Worn about 20 times so far and no change in the color or material quality. I wash, as was recommended to me, with a wetsuit wash only. NO smelling, dries over night. I wear boots in the 2mm thickness because my feet don't get that cold. I wear 5mm gloves because my hands get very cold. My hood is 3mm too by oneill. The chest zipper on my suit is different that I am use to, I got use to it after the first day. It is more comfortable than a back zip. The length is nice in the torso and arms. My legs are short but the suit is just fine. I would recommend wearing a rashguard under the suit if you are in public. The rashguard also helps slip the suit on easier. Nice website and service.
