Wetsuit buy doubt

Postby rodrigofmc » Fri Jul 04, 2008 6:29 pm

i´m about to buy a new wetsuit, i´ve narrowed it down to either a o´neill psycho 1 4/3 or a o´neill mutant 4/3 or a Hotline PhoenixX 4/3. they all cost abuot the same, and i´ve been told they are all pretty good suits. Can anyone help me choose? Anyone got experience in any of these suits?

I live and surf in Uruguay, in the cold atlantic coast of south america.

thanks

Rodrigo

I prefer those O'neill suits. Of the two, positive comments about the psycho abound. the Hotline suits are well known around Santa Cruz, whereas O'neill suits are known worldwide. But, it seems I'd enjoy buuying a suit from the company that pioneered wetsuites (i.e., Oneill).

I don't know about the Hotline Phoenix - not come across that one.
If you have narrowed it down to 3 suits and they are all from good quality wesuit companies then the choice is simple - which one gives you the best fit.
