Wetsuit Recommendations
UK usually no problems either. Just got an Xcel Axis for $230 delivered. As you know it's their 'end of season sales' time and Winter ones galore ... well ... recently. Just Xcel are a better fit personally though West templates aren't bad (for me) either. Other brands seem designed from guys with bloody "Popeye" legs.

The UK can be good for cheap(er) wetties online too.
What Uk site are you using S.C?
Yeh, agree with Zen, and SC, UK is good too. They have a few interesting brands of their own also, and some different models. I've worn Tiki and Gul, but that was a long time ago, and the workmanship was suss. Those Salomon suits were popular there. Google will find the shops having clear out sales. In the US, Oregon surf shops have a good range of cold water stuff.
They seem to come and go but latest ones I've had no trouble with and good service, tracking and email reports.

EDIT: Have to keep checking and be early, just before season change, as they sell out main sizes (S, M and L) pretty quick unfortunately. They also have old stock clearances when the latest 'new season model' stock comes in.

Thanks SC
In the market for a new wettie. Just getting back into the water wondering what's the hot commodity. I'm a tall lanky guy so I'm considering a custom-fit wetsuit too just don't know of any reputable brands. Any recommendations would be awesome. Cheers!
