I couldn't find the topic where NEED wetsuits were mentions so apologies.

Did/Has anybody purchased one and what are their thoughts? needessentials.com/

The $160 price tag is attractive but not if it fits like crap and falls apart after a month.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

i have the 3/2 and they are $175 with postage
the fit is good
be aware that the sizes are generous i have always bordered on XL(bit sloppy) and L (bit tight) but the L was fine
the rubber is exceptionally soft and comfortable with good stretch
never been a chest zip fan but am now a convert as it a fair bit warmer with no flush every duckdive
on the downside it needs a good rinse if you are fond of pissing in your wetsuit ..or too old not too!
be interested to see how long it lasts me( i surf or kitesurf most days so at least 5-6 times a week minimum immersion),
i have only had it a month or so then again for the price you can afford to replace them every season
fair amount of hipster cred as there are no logos on the wetsuit
(How do you kill a hipster? Drown him in the mainstream.)
i am pretty happy with it so far and it is almost as smooth as this......

Thanks Prawnhead, I think I'll give them a shot and see how I go based on what you've said.
