I've got 3, an Xcel 2mm, a ripcurl 1.1mm, and an ION 2/1mm. The Ripcurl one is junk but was the chearpest, the Xcel and ION ones are awesome. Look for something with no zip in the back cause it's a bitch under a harness.

If I could have only one, I'd have the ION.

The NPX ones are good, and I've heard good things about Ion, Oneil, and xcel.

Any one tried the flying Objects neo top or ozone thermal rashie.
The FO seems like it would be pretty warm like a wety then I tried the ozone thermal rashie and thats as warm as toast but seems to let some wind through.
It's hard to tell while the water is still warm but then were only getting 24 degrees max by thursday

Got mine locally but Ocean Addicts has them online. The euro sizing is pretty accurate. I wear a 54EU Racing suit, 44US suit jacket, XL fits me.
