387387 23997 The new great unbiased wetsuit review thread 95 sauce Dec 3, 2025 2025-12-03T10:52:45-0500 First sesh in my 4/3 hooded e-bomb zipperless. Only one session so can't speak on it too much but initial thoughts: Im 6ft 190 lbs , big butt/hips and shoulders. I got an XLS . Not terribly cold water, like 57ish, but decent 10-25 mph offshore, and around 50 degree air. Not too bad but a little chilly for a pansy like myself. The good: easily the most comfortable suit I've ever worn And fit pretty perfectly snug. Not restictive at all. soft and very light. Easy to get on. Never got even close to cold. Never leaked anywhere, and never flushed. The bad: Left ankle wanted to come up over my booty on a few spills. Might need a strap or tape for my skinny non-leashed ankle. Took 10 mins to get off!! I was squirming like a worm in every direction trying to get this thing over/off my shoulders to the point where I almost asked for a stranger's help. Im gonna have to get that wetsuit winch thing or make one ughh. I would still pick this over any of my past suits from O'Neil/ xcel / billabong. Very interested in the flashbomb fusion if I get a nice bonus this year.
