Billabong Or Xcel? Which Wetsuit!

[TheIVJackal]

Well I need to buy a wetsuit soon because there is a swell coming within a week. The one I have now has holes and the waters at 56F. right now so its a little cold. I need to know which wetsuit you guys think is better and why. I heard billabong will last me longer and that xcel will only last me for a couple months before it comes apart. I want something that is going to last me for a while. My options are the Billabong 4/3 Foil and the Xcel 4/3 Xflex. Thanks for the feedback guys!

why 4/3mm????? 56f is not that bad. It will undoubtably warm up in a month or two anyway. You would probably be better off with a 3/2

umm no, 3/2 is to light for the cold water. plus you live out in san diego where its like 60 something degrees right now...

60 ya with cold winds . And a 3/2mm is not light for cold water a decent 3/2mm like a phyco 2 is fine from 50+. Depends where you live though
