Re: The Great Unbiased Wetsuit Review Thread

Been using a Nineplus 3/2 for 10 months now. I didn't expect much from it since I heard they had zipper failures and you have to 'baby the neoprene'. I'm not so attentive to such niceties.

Anyway I have been very happy with it. It was not expensive. It is warm even in the SF area. No leaks yet but it does flush occasionally down the back in solid surf on duck-dives. It seems to be designed for someone with wider legs/hips/butt area because it used to crawl up my a$$ and get a little bunchy on the shoulders, but this has stopped happening this winter.
hmm, I thought I lost some weight this summer
Another quirk about it is that it was very slippery against the board, which promoted some unneeded kookiness. But this seems to have left also. The rubber does get your wax dirty very quickly.
One of the nicest qualities is that it does not absorb water, which enables it to stay light and dry quickly. I've been pleasantly surprised, so much better than my last Excel but probably get another Hotline to put into the rotation.
