Comments about RIP CURL FLASH BOMB CHEST ZIP 4/3MM FULL SUIT:
I am 150 pounds and 5"9'. I HATE being cold so i ordered the medium 4/3. It fits perfectly and the arms loosened up after the first session. The first thing I noticed in the water is a little itch from the flash bomb fiber. It went away after a session or two. I love how quickly this thing dries. Its dry when i peal it down after a three hour surf. When you go to put it on the next day the outside may still be wet but the inside is like a nice wool coat that is dry as a bone.
Basically its warm, comfortable, dries quickly. 5 Stars

Comments about RIP CURL FLASH BOMB CHEST ZIP 4/3MM FULL SUIT:
This is a great suit. I'm 6' 170lbs and the Lrg fit perfect. I tried on (in a non-water setting) the Flash Bomb, the R3 by Patagonia, the Xcel Drylock, and the Flash Bomb got my vote. The R3 and the Xcel seemed a little tight up on the shoulder blades area and somewhat restrictive.Only area that seemed a little tight with the Flash Bomb was the neck area but that loosed up just enough after the second time in. The rest of the suit was perfect right from the get go.
Obviously its a 4/3 chest zip so its going to be somewhat difficult getting into and out of but it gets easier after the first couple times.
Only thing that becomes somewhat of a pain is that the neck zip has to be fully undone to get in the suit - its not like excel where the zipper unzips but stays connected. Reconnecting the zipper is kind of a pain if you want to get really critical.
The suit is warm (won't go too far into this because we aren't too deep into winter) and has a "cling" factor to your body that works really well and still allows for flexibility. Plus, the inside dries really fast.
Overall great suit. Only thing I can't comment on yet is the durability because I've only used it about two weeks. So far I'm a repeat buyer!
