We purchased 2 of these for a visit to the ocean. They worked out very well. The ocean was around 55. The only problem we had was a lack the insolating boots. I would definately suggest these suits. They are warm and comfortable.

Like all wetsuits, this one is a little bit hard to get into. However, for the price, I find it to be very effective. I was swimming for hours after everyone else got too cold and had to leave the water. This suit is by far most effective with a pair of divers gloves and divers shoes.

This is a fine suit. by comparison, I also have a Body Glove full, a Body Glove shorty, and a Brave (a local NJ house brand) shirt. The Mercury is just as good as any of those.
Last autumn, while trying to surf a tropical storm with a long board, I finned myself quite well, slicing a big chunk off the back of my Mercury wet suit and getting blood stains all over a *brand new* white rash guard I wore underneath. I like the Mercury so much that I went out & bought another one.

This could have been a nice wetsuit:
- the material is decent, not too stiff and not too "sticky".
- it is relatively light and flexible
- I like the white stitching - looks "different"

It has one fatal flaw - first, the upper portion around shoulders is relatively small (I usually am OK with L, but tried both L and XL and they were kinda tight up above, and I am not all that wide in the shoulders).

Worse yet, and that's a complete deal breaker - the neck opening is *tiny*. It is literally sized for a 6 y/o child (I checked). Unless you are a true "pencilneck" there is absolutely no way you'll be able to zip it up and wear it without choking.

Too bad.

After looking at the chart and reading one review I decided to order X-Large instead of a Large. I tried it on and it barely went up over my shoulders and then when I zipped it up it choked me. The price went up 24.00 since I ordered it a couple of days ago. Amazon took care of that and the expedited shipping on the XX-Large since I need it in 2 days.

6'1

199-209lbs depending on the day but I look about 180

36" waist

44" chest when measured for my sports jacket at MW.

16.5" neck

Almost ordered the XX-Large from the start because of my height and chest but the waist size scared me away. After wearing this I can safely say this X-Large was VERY snug all over so when picking your size keep that in mind. I have no doubts that the XX-Large will be a perfect fit and not bunch up.

I loved the item. Delivery was prompt. But, here it comes the size chart is off. I went with the chart and it is to small. I'm returning only to purchase a different size. The suit itself is Great. Just watch the sizes, you will have to go through the mess of a return..

Decent suit, runs about 1 size too small. Luckily it fit my brother.
I would order the size larger than what the chart says.

I Purchased this wet-suit for swimming in the ocean. I have never been in a wet suit prior to purchasing it and it made my entire beach day much better, i stayed very warm in the water. Im 5 10' 140lbs and the size medium fits perfect. The best part is i got it for $16.99 used (came brand new with tags just in a plastic sealed bag) with free prime 2 day shipping. INCREDIBLE value and deal. Highly recommend.

This wetsuit is great!!! It fits very well, works very efficiently and is reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this suit for anyone who dislikes getting into and swimming in cold water.

Awesome wet suite. Did the job perfectly.

I was a little worried about ordering based on the sizing chart, but, it was great.

When I tried it at home, felt a bit tight. In the water (at depths of 70 feet) it worked like a charm. I was able to move comfortably and it kept me warm too.

The product arrived by mail as promised, just in time for my trip.
