Excel is moving its warehouse and so, right now is offering a bunch of expensive suits at 30% off. As if $300's a bargain.Jack's Surfboards, the Huntington Beach retailer, has the same prices, possibly offers a few that Excel doesn't and tends not to charge sales tax and maybe not shipping. I think they still like thick fuzzy lining, something I don't like. But slippery insides tend to be on luxury or at least expensive brands: Isurus, Feral, Matuse. To some extent, Buell, but they seem to have stopped offering my size. I think Isurus is still offering prices around $350-400 for a couple of discontinued 3/2 and 2/2 models.

Let me know if you see a wild dakine sale, I want their 5/3 bz in xxls.
Also, still have your zipless 6/4 sitting around. Hope all is well, hip finally making real progress ------------------------- spindrift |

I think the incredible low prices for Dakine must have reflected a major failure to sell. I was half expecting them to quit the wetsuit business. The only XXLS's I have left are a Matuse (I can't tell the difference between it and more or less the same item in XLS) and a non-hooded DaKine Cyclone zipperless. My closet inventory says it seemed hard to get on & off.

I thought my reply hadn't posted, so the duplicate isn't needed. Things are getting creaky.

I tried mightily to squeeze into that that dakine 6/4 xxls zipless....and failed badly.
And if I actually got it on, getting out would need a wardrobe assistant....and some tools Like wrestling a really strong rubber octopus....needed a rest break. If no one wants it, I'm busting out the blade and put in a back zip zipless suits suck ------------------------- spindrift |

Ha!!! If it had a hood I would consider. Yes zipless are a trick to get in at 65 years old. once in they are about as warm as Ive been in 38 degree water. Thanks you guys for the 2 dakine's. Let me know if ya gots any 3/2's. No back zips. Im sold on front or no zip.

For whatever reason, DaKine's zipless worked OK for me, despite the left arm still being a bit sticky (needs more therapy-type stuff). But yeah, some wetsuits work, others inexplicably don't. I'm lately doing well with most but Rip Curl was an utter failure and I should have had an insert made to get an otherwise fine O'Neill chest zip to work. I absolutely couldn't get the top piece to get within 2 inches of the bottom zip.
