Billabong Men's 32 Absolute Back Zip Wetsuit for Surfing & Water Sports - Adult Size, Neoprene Full Body Wetsuit for Cold Water Protection

Functionality:This 3/2 has glued/blindstiched seams. In addition there is considerable interior taping of said seams around the chest/ groin area (not the legs and arms). I find that a nice surprise at this price point. The velcro and zipper function well, although you should be careful to always fold it and stick it on the little tab of fuzzy material they added to the collar. It was easy to get in and out of, and I have size 11.5 wide feet. It is very flexible in all areas. This wetsuit’s style is very understated and the company logo is small. I appreciate that.Value:This is by far the least expensive full-featured 3/2 full on amazon. It has all of the features found on a comparable models from the 3 or 4 big name brands selling here. It does feel predominantly 2mm except for the chest panel, which makes it very flexible, but probably somewhat less insulating. (Have not surfed it yet)All of the seams and stitching are sound. It came from Thailand, not that orher place that rhymes with “rhina.”Durability:I have not surfed it yet, but can speculate based on 40+ years of experience wearing full suits. If it lasts 2 years of use (@3x a week minus summer) with these features, it would cover my expectations and my investment. Anything beyond that is gravy.Final thoughts:I usually shop ripcurl and oneill, but am not happy with the prices they charge. So this suit ticked all the boxes for my utilitarian goals. If it falls apart after a year, I’d be surprised. Apparently this is a popular choice too because it was the last one in my size…
