I'm really liking the X-Cel 5-4
I got from Whiskey Militia $163

warm as toast yesterday after a couple hours and a few falls
46 degrees air and water (new low for me)
it was still dry underneath in spots
so much tighter of a fit than my Old Hotline, no place for water to get into
very elastic
I've been using X-cel booties for some time now and they hold up great
so i'm expecting this from thier suit as well
but with such a tight entry they usually get ripped

I'll second the tight fit, I'm too skinny for most wetsuits but the sealed 4/3 xcel fit me great. Also, it's held up really well after a couple year's use.

Meadows is still suffering from lack of snow (which is what started the whole dangling BS in the first place) - gotta blame it on someone, might as well be meadows.

I was up there last weekend and saw some spots showing some exposure - and I'm thinking?? Man, exposure in Late january. If they don't get some snow soon its going to be a really, really short season Mad
