This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. For years I have been putting up with a cold lap pool (allegedly "heated" but only minimally so), often skipping my swim because I didn't want the discomfort of that initial cold shock, particularly around the, uh, waist. Now, I can swim whenever I like in perfect comfort, regardless of the pool temperature. And this thing fits like a glove. A remarkable product at a low price. Couldn't be more satisfied.

No complaints with this wet suit after several dives: comfortable, well-designed, and not unattractive. A great deal at less than $60.

We bought two of these wetsuits for a snorkling trip to Florida. The wetsuit is excellent and a very good price. We used the wetsuits while snorkeling in water that was in the high 70s. It allowed us to stay in the water as long as we wanted without getting cold. We took a chartered snorkeling trip in which we went to two different snorkeling spots to snorkel for one hour at each spot. All of the people on the trip went in the water at the first spot but only 40% of the people went out at the second spot. Water temperature was likely one reason that caused people to stay on the boat because during the time that we were snorkeling I noticed that a woman that was snorkeling next to me had goose bumps all over her body. I was perfectly warm and compeltely enjoyed the trip. In addition to snorkeling we also used the wetsuits while we were kayaking which kept us very warm and comfortable.

I bought the Medium/Large. I'm 5"8' 170lbs 33" waist and I wear a medium shirt. Looks good and nice material but when I put in on I could not zip it up. It fit my wife who is 5'2" 135lb so I gave it to her. The medium/large is for a 38-40 inch chest which is tiny. I need a 43-44 inch so I would have to go to XL or XXL for these things to fit my 5'8" frame. If you are a skinny kid with a pencil neck and a 38 inch chest go for it. Otherwise get the larger size.. My guess is at least 2 sizes over you shirt size.

This wetsuit kept me worm in Chicago Lake Michigan. I Jet Ski over the summer season and the water temperature was around 50 F and I did not even feel cold at all. I used the size chart that they had on Amazon and it fits perfectly. I only hoped the zipper was at the front so I don't have to call my girlfriend to zip me up every time I get out of the water but that's really not a big deal at all. This Product gets 5 Starts all around.

I love this wetsuit! It has a great look to it and performs well in the water. I tend to hit the water a little early when its still really cold but this wetsuit definitely kept me warm. Super flexible, don't feel I have any limitations wearing it.

I just received this item today. It seems very well made and comfortable. I'm 5 foot 7, 174 pounds with 36 inch waist. the Sizing chart says I should be 5 foot 11 to 6 foot 1 for a large size, but it fits me perfectly. It's very flexible, not like the old wet suits I'm used to from when I was younger. No irritation at seams, all of which are flat locked, double stitched for added strength.

This is my first wet suit. I am 59 years old 5'8" 180 lbs. I first ordered the large and could barely zip it up. I returned it and ordered an extra large. this one fits much better. I plan to try a triathalon and I bought it to give me added boyancy for the open water swim. I've tried it in an indoor pool and so far I like it. I believe with this wet suit I will have the courage to give it a try.

If only I had gotten one of these years ago I would have spent so much more time enjoying the ocean. These wet suits are not the ones we wore in the sixties and seventies. Light weight and supple. Very nice.

This is a great shorty wetsuit. The sizing was perfect (Medium/Large) for my body frame. Not recommended for really cold waters, but worked well for snorkling in cool waters.
