Xcel 4/3 Xflex or Billabong 4/3 Foil.

Im not sure which to buy guys! Tell me which one whould I pick? Ive heard good things about xcel but not to much about billabong. The stitching is a little different and this is why I am having a hard time finding a wetsuit. PLEASE HELP SURF COMES IN A WEEK!

For Xcel Wetsuits

For Billabong Wetsuits

Buy whichever fits better. That, and price, should be your main concerns.

I've got an Xcel winter suit and only worn it once, but so far so good, nice fit for me anyway. Lots of surfers I know have Xcels and love em, just 1 mate had to send 2 back due to dodgy seems but this happened within 2wks both times and he got free replacements straight away.

Don't know anyone with a Billabong and I've never tried em.
