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

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.
