5.0 out of 5 stars Updated! Well made. Warm. Great value.
I bought this replacement wetsuit for my recent trips to the lake District and loch Lomond. I do mainly kayaking and SUP (paddle boarding).I'm a stocky 5ft 11, 74kg, 40 chest, 32 waist and I ordered a Large and X-Large. The Large was a bit tight around the chest, thighs and crotch but fitted the best overall. The XL was really loose around my arms but otherwise fitted well in the other areas. I decided to keep the Large as you do want a good fit i.e. second skin. The zippers and seams are good. The velcro around the neck could be better. It worked very well in the water. Mobility was good and being 5mm, it kept me warm. To be fair, the water hasn't been too cold recently. All in all, I'm pleased with this. It a great recreational wet suit and good value for money.Update 1: uses these multiple times over the autumn with no issues. However a New Years Day paddle at 1c was surely going to be a challenge. Pleased to say this 5mm suit did very well and really kept me warm especially with my buoyancy aid on.
5.0 out of 5 stars Warm
It was a very good fit for me & very warm. But due to its thickness a bit stiffer to move, though after getting used to it I was SUP & rowing
4.0 out of 5 stars A great value wetsuit that does what it is supposed to!
NOTE: Review written after I actually used the wetsuit for sea swimming.Picked this up as a second wetsuit to my more expensive Zone 3 wetsuit (which I wrecked before even using it by digging my nails in to it!).This Osprey suit is superb. Materials are good, especially the knee protection and the front and rear windbreakers. At 5mm it is quite a heavy suit but the sizing appears to be fairly generous. The fit is naturally snug (as it should be) but offers a bit of play to adjust the fit once you are inside. I found that for me, I had room to adjust the fit on my arms and legs. The windbreakers make chest adjustment/wriggling very difficult though due to the material used.I used this for an early morning sea swim in September 2020. With my hands and feet exposed I obviously could tell the water was cold on a near-biblical level!Of course when entering the water a wetsuit won't prevent you from feeling immersion shock, but once you get in and dip yourself in a few times to get some water inside the suit (which warms up, which is how wetsuits work) after 5 or so minutes you're grand.I completed a slow 1000m swim over a period of about 30 minutes in exceptionally calm sea water. I found the wetsuit to provide a LOT of buoyancy, so trying breast stroke to get bearings occasionally proved problematic. Once up and running though and swimming freestyle, I found the suit wasn't overly restrictive and that was able to apply my strokes and also sight fairly comfortably.The 5mm thickness proved to be just right for the water I was in, which was freezing! Extremities aside, I never once felt cold during my swim once I'd acclimatized. In fact I wanted to swim much longer and further. Safety first though, especially when trying out a new wetsuit for the first time. I didn't experience significant after drop either once I was out of the water.Post-swim I just used a big blue IKEA bag to stuff the wetsuit in to. Took it home, ran it under a cold shower and hung it up in the bathroom to dry. Easy peasey.Overall this is a great, well-made wetsuit perfect for beginners and seasoned swimmers alike. I probably wouldn't recommend it for racing or anything more serious. You'd be wanting a proper tri suit or race suit for that.However for everyday open water swimming or training I think this suit fits the bill perfectly. That applies to beginners, open water veterans and hardened triathletes and super swimmers alike. This is a great wetsuit anyone. Buy with confidence.
5.0 out of 5 stars Zip broke on third use.
First time use suit was fantastic. Very comfortable and warm. Used for swimming in the sea during January - suit did not restrict movement when swimming. Second use was for sea kayaking and was again well suited to this task. Unfortunately on the third use the zip broke. For a suit costing this much I wouldn't have expected the zip to break so soon, especially considering how it has been cared for and the fact it was only worn and used twice. Will contact their support team and attempt to get a replacement zip.😐
1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality, falling apart
I bought 2 of these wetsuits for my son's to wear when paddle boarding; an adults size and a boys size. Both wetsuits have stitching on seams that has unraveled and glued seams that have opened. The wetsuits have been lightly used for paddle boarding only. I would not buy this brand again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent wetsuit & great customer service
Firstly have to say the customer service is fantastic from Board Masters.I did use the sizing chart, I’m 6’1, 42 chest & 36 waste so went for XL, it was a snug fit but unfortunately the height was the main issue.The returns process was easy and customer service emailed to keep me updated.I re ordered XXL to be on the safe side, very quick delivery and this one fits, little roomy round the waste but I’m happy.The suit it’s self is very good for the price, the seems and zip look very good and sturdy.Haven’t had a chance to use in the water yet but will update once I have, so far excellent and would recommend.Have now used wetsuit in the sea and have to say it’s brilliant, was in the water for well over an hour and was kept very warm, really really impressive

5.0 out of 5 stars Wetsuit
I've had chance to use this several times this year and us wonderful. I struggled the first time to put this on and pulled my shoulder, 2 days off work. After research I soaked it in the bath with water and a lot fabric conditioner. This worked wonders and made the suit a lot more flexible and easier to get into.

Igual que en la descripción.lo compré para mi padre. La M puede quedar pequeña si tienes la espalda fuerte. Lo tuve que devolver por ese motivo.
probleme produit
après une deuxième mise à l'eau de la combinaison pour surfer, un trou est apparu sur la cuisse au niveau du collage des bandes.Qualité moyenne, je vais demander le retour si cela est possible.
