My winter wetsuit is on its last legs now and due for replacement. Where is the best spot to get a replacement (4/3 semi-dry) and any idea what costs I can expect?
you dont need a steamer i wear a spring suit long arm short legs most the time or my dads wetsuit from the late 80s is like a full body springy.
saffer, check out the factory outlets in torquay, i got a 3/4 steamer for 220 bucks, vest etc are really cheap too, 20 bucks for a 1mm vest
i have a ripcurl 3/2 which i wear all winter. go to trigger bros. on fitzroy street they have a awesome range at prety good prices.
or the ewoke.....
This is absolutly no help at all, but you sure are picking a bad time to buy a wettie. You can generally get 50% off in Dec/jan at most surf stores. The stores are all getting ready for winter now.
You are better off buying Quality when it comes to wetsuits. The good ones last years. I have had my ripcurl classic for at least 10 years, and its still going strong(bit tighter fit now).
SHQ have 30% off last years wetsuits at the moment. I got a Rip Curl Core 4/3 steamer on the weekend for about three hunj...
Mordi Surf Centre in Mordialloc has a huge range of wetties and the steamers seem to be on sale at the moment.
