| 381113 | 23997 | The new great unbiased wetsuit review thread | 45 | kcl | Nov 3, 2025 | 2025-11-03T15:33:46-0500 | hullogfish said: As a well-fed Hobbit, I have found that fit is as crucial as anything. Matuse fits me perfect, their suits feel good/ materials seem as good as anyone else, so I buy those. However, their front zips have an opening that my hips seem to overstretch, so no go. I quickly ruined one I had. I buy their back zips only on sale and actually almost always have one in a box for when the others finally meet their maker. I bought a Feral and loved the materials, but the fit wasn't quite right. My point, go try on a bunch of suits and find the brand(s) that fits best, then you can play with materials. My cousin, who is well build but slender, is a Med or Med- Tall and I was shocked at how each brand fit so differently when he tried on 3-4 different brands. Then, the stretch in materials created a new factor. Click to expand... Ironically, I've found Matuse to be one of the least durable "high end" suits I've owned. Two seasons in and most every seam on my 3/2 Dante is leaking. Freshwater flush after every session, dried out in the garage out of the sun, etc. Should have just gone with an Isurus as I've got a couple that still going strong after five years. |
