o neill suits are great but i wouldnt order one online best to go try a few on and get the one that fits best, you could pay £250 for the best winter suit out there but if it doest fit right it wont keep you as warm as a cheap £100 that fits you perfectly

yeah don't get wetsuits online, even though it is a great suit it might not fit you right where a like a body glove work might, but you don't know that because you're buying them online.

I agree with buying online - don't do it unless you have tried a suit on before and know it fits well. (Try it on in a shop, take note of the size and then buy online for less money

)
Of course you could buy a
Snugg Wetsuit online - no problems with the size here as they are custom made to your measurements.

thx for the advice, going to try first then probably buy online if the shop cant price match.

I've got an O'Neill epic II 3/2 and it's great. Had it for about 2 years now and is still in great shape.

I bought my o'neill epic ii 5/3 about 6 months ago and within that time frame the suit went back to o'neill for repair twice already. O'neill services was in no doubt great but I still got frustrated especially the second time took 5 weeks. The guy from the shop where I got the suit from told me that sometimes there's luck involves with wetsuit. Once you have problem with it, then it will continues.
I don't have any problem with my psycho ii so far though (knock on wood).
And as for snugg 5/4/3 titan mini zip; it's worth every penny of its £275 for the perfect fit and warmth. It's true that getting out of it is a challenge (more like an achievement actually). But it still is worth the hassle too. I would recommend it to anyone.
