Why is this considered a "value priced suit" what's it downside being least expensive on their line of wetsuits? Girlfriend shopper.

Still a good wetsuit for beginners or people who can tolerate cold water better

Material not as flexible is their higher line of suits, seam in the lumbar area, single instead of double neck seal, inside is less slick.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

Hello, Thanks so much for the inquiry. It looks like Amazon is the only seller that offers that wetsuit in size "MS" I'm not quite sure what "MS" stands for...perhaps Medium Short? Unfortunately, we don't offer it in that size, we only offer it in Medium, Large and X-Large. You may want to get in contact with Amazon directly with your inquiry on the "MS" size. Hope this helps!

90% of customers have called this "true to size" or even "a bit big"; but 10% of customers have said the exact opposite. So the odds are in favor of "true or bigger" but paying for return shipping is part of saving money by not driving to the mall (and no mall has these special-edition suits designed by a woman in Michigan).

You are partly paying for brand, but they are freaking amazing. Well worth the 30 bucks, you might want to check some stores in your area though, sometime you can find better prices.

Okay so here's a nice and straight forward answer. IT DEPENDS. Maybe some buyer was being really cheap and wanted to save $2 and bought it from some no name seller and got a water down cologne and hence you see the negative reviews. Buy your colognes from Amazon. You always get the real deal.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

Have same problem. This swimsuit works for me. Buy a little larger than your size, however, because this item runs small.

The suit is geared more towards protecting your body from jellyfish and other sealife. The suit is too thin to act as an insulator.

I would say M. It's better to go smaller with wetsuits than too big! If it's slightly snug, it's OK -- but too big and you're going to be cold. Plus, they stretch.

It doesn't really act like a wetsuit. It is comfortable, light-weight & fast drying. I wear it around walking, hiking, etc jump in the water & leave it on to dry. I am very sensitive to the sun, so that's why I wear it. I usually swim in warmer waters. In cold water, I'd wear a wetsuit.

Don't cheap out on fins if you are going on a trip to the Galapagos... my first recommendation would be to think about renting when you get there. If you want to save some money and drag your own all the way, then by all means, try them out in a pool at home first. I brought some US Divers Admiral 2 LX fins to Kauai, HI, and was not happy - I wear size 13 shoes and got the large fins, which were tight and the heel strap buckle slipped apart several times. The fins were a good size for travel, but if you are worried about losing them, you won't enjoy the scenery as much... it also depends upon how rough the water is. Have a wonderful time.

I love my suit, if you buy it make sure you size up. For example if you wear a size large buy an X-large...I hope this was helpful.!!

They're hoping to find a sucker. I got a Medium at Ross Dress for Less for $19.99, which has them from time to time. Sports Authority has them for, last I checked, $29.99, in all sizes.

I don't know what the "real" list price is, but I checked at macy's this weekend and they are on sale for the same price right now. Pretty much anywhere you go right now they're on sale. *wow* Just noticed that was posted 3 years ago........

For the the money(price), I am certain you will never match the value! The single item in my 67 of memory that IS waterproof , is my Columbia rain suit. Pay the money and smile; what ever adjustments need making, you will find a way! ;-}
