donelikeadinner asked: hahaha I'm from Melbourne! soo we wear wetsuits all your round except for the warmest part of summer! haha umm yeahh ankle zips basically just make it easier to get in and out, but you don't need them. They are not as tight a seal as wetsuits without zips, soo i would avoid them. But the thing with my wetsuit knowledge is that I'm am talking about water that gets down to 8 degrees...
donelikeadinner asked: yeahhh chest zips are really new technology, soo everyone is kind of still catching up. What you can do is try on a wetsuit from each brand in your local surf shop. Then you have a rough idea of size, as long as the neck and shoulders fit snug, you should be able to get a good enough idea to buy online. haha and i work in a surf shop sooo i know a lot about this stuff! haha
donelikeadinner asked: haha Glueddd!!!! when its only stitched, every little hole that the thread goes through, water can go through it too! When its glued, and often double stitched and glued, water cant get in! But yeah, also most american sites will offer free shipping! sooo you should be able to get a good full suit (in 4mm/3mm) for like 170ish. Which is sickkkkkk! haha and the chest zips are the way to go! you dont...
donelikeadinner asked: haha anytime! i just got this (http://hyperflexusa.com/product/flow-43mm-mens-fullsuit/) from america, got it for 200 including shipping and in aus we would pay like 400 for a wetsuit this good! its the perfect way to shop. soo defs get it online. And yes, you can have the best wetsuit, but if its a loose fit, you will freeze. haha
donelikeadinner asked: Use american ebay to get them really cheap if you live in australia. The g-bomb's are sickkk, but remember to try wetsuits on at a surf shop before buying one of the same type. The fit matters more than the brand or style. The tighter and more skin like it feels, the warmer and more comfortable you will feel!
b-kls asked: heeey , i love your blog, its amazing.
