With the advent of cooler NW temp's, anyone have personal favorites for wind wetsuits? I'm a Pro Motion guy, but that suit has seen a lot of wear and tear & needs replacing. Recommendations are much appreciated?

NPX ZEALOT 543.

Do NOT get the wind skin! it falls apart....The normal one is legit though.

bamboo charcoal liner dries super fast and doesn't stink like a normal wetsuit.

Hands down Oneil Mutant, the most comfy suit I have every worn and the build quality is top notch. Best part is it comes with 2 neck pieces, one with a hood and one without.

Housing lending rates are at a historic low. Refi your house at under 4%. . .that should allow one to put a down payment on a new toasty warm Patagucci aka Patagonia suit (wool lined. . .superlative craftmanship, and awesome warranty).

I agree with Chooch! After selling all sorts of brands of wetsuits all summer, I like the Oneill Mutant! I am thinking about buying a 5/4 to keep me warm all year round. Having the option to have an integrated hood or not makes it a really versatile suit and the construction/seam welds are pretty good too! Gorge Performance in SW has them for $350 which isn't a bad price either! My 2 cents.
