They are getting pretty popular in Australia. Apparently they set out to make better, more eco friendly wetsuits at a more reasonable price since wetsuit prices are creeping up. Everyone I've talked too swears by them being as good as their previous brand wetsuits. I will note this is all cold water surf, no idea how they fare in warmer climates.

Yungrom, question for you:
"What do Vissla, Billabong, Xcel, O’Neill, Quiksilver, and Patagonia wetsuits all have in common?" ( well, except for the Vissla x Bewet Japan collaboration )

That they are made all in the same factory I think, I thought that Vissla was made in Australia but nevermind. :lol:

Thank you, I only surf in cold water so I shouldn't have a problem.

Bought the vissla wetstuit, compared it to my mates wetsuit and it has inner heating pads sort of not quite sure how to describe it compared to his billabong wetsuit with no inner heating at all. Would recommend.
