You all scared me away. Im in Long Island Winter here and water gets 36-40 for about three months. Air temp to zero. Patagoinas go for 600 bucks for a five mill. WTF. And the seams come apart? No...way. I am not going to buy this suit. You all scared me away. Im in Long Island Winter here and water gets 36-40 for about three months. Air temp to zero.

I rinse it after every use and hang it by the waist indoors, yet after just over a year of using it about twice a week I am about to take it back to the shop for the second time. First all of the tape on the inside of the seams pealed off and the stiching on the key pocket came apart, now the seams between the rubber and the neoprene on the chest is starting to split and the seam between the zipper and the neoprene has given out as well. The customer service is great, but after spending 500 bucks it is starting to piss me off. If anyone is looking at these suits, save yourself a few hundred bucks and grab a rip curl 3.2 instead.

I really love this board... Actually getting ready to buy another one. Works in just about all conditions here in San Diego and I love having the extra foam under my chest. For someone your height, weight and experience level I would go somewhere in the range of 5"10 to 6'0. Leaning more toward the 6"0 based on your experience level... The extra few inches will give you alittle more foam all around... Hope this helps... Hi Jonathon,
