Alright, the time has come to get a new wetsuit..... I'm looking at two specifically and would like any input.

the first one is the XCEL Drylock TDC 3/2

 

and the Second would be Billabong's Furnace Carbon 3/2

 

Thanks for the help!

Before my pooswah got too sensitive for winter surf, My W S were O'neil's front zip with built in hood.

Can't go wrong with xcell.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

Let me also add, I'm looking at those too because I get a sizable discount on those companies. Im leaning towards xcel

Xcel.

And your done.

Waiting for waves is ok......most people spend their lives waiting for nothing.

Pretty sure I have that exact Xcell suit and it's the tits. Almost too warm for NFL until it gets REALLY cold. 

 

You have the 3/2? I surf satellite mostly. But I'm a baby.....

hmm didnt billabong buy xcel few years back and discontinue most of their line ?
.. back in the early 80's i used to call up warehouse in hawaii and order suits for surfshop i worked at
i remember them calling back and said all the workers had flu brah and order would be few weeks..
they were nicest ladies there . when order arrived they had put thank you notes for waiting and a bunch of free
tshirts and stickers for shop team.. then production moved to thailand few years later

Billabong bought Xcel International in 2007.  Looks like they still own the Xcel wetsuit brand, despite their selling off of many other brands.  

If you are looking to save money make the trip to Hurley Outlet in Kissimmee.

Someone else from the forums mentioned it. I took the trip out and was shocked that I was picking up a brand new Hurley Fusion 303 for $60. ( Retail $300-$400) No lie , its marked down to $85 and additional 30% off.

They only have youth wetsuits on display right now, so be sure to ask an employee what they have in the back, they have a bunch! Might go buy another to have as a back up

whatever you buy, don't defecate in it....

I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

I used to work for billabong so the discount us still available to me. I believe billabong still owns most of xcel as its still on the employee site. Guess I'll be going with xcel. Thanks everyone!
