O'neil Epic II vs. Gooru 3/2 ????

[Mdowling56]

Hi All,

My local shops are all having sales right now and I'm thinking of picking up a new suit.

I've kind of narrowed it down to an O'neil Epic II CT or an O'neil Gooru GBS

It's about a $50 price jump for the Gooru (which I don't mind as long as it's worth it) and the major difference in construction seem to be the zipper seal, the Gooru has the pullover internal neck seal whereas the Epic is just a standard back zip.

Haha, the pain an the @ss of it all is that the sale only runs through today... so I sort of need to make up my mind. What do you guys/gals think? Is the Pullover thing worth it? I'm kind of a broad soldered guy, is it going to be a pain in the @ass to take on off?

Thanks.

I think you'd like the pullover neck seal and find the suit warmer when the temperature begins to decrease. I base this suggestion on my experience with chest zip v. back zip suits.

Hello Mdowling56,
The Gooru is a warmer and more flexible wetsuit, and worth the extrta $50. I know this post is after the fact, so I hope you bought the Gooru. If not the Epic will be fine.
