It is important to mention that wetsuits are a must for surfing in Canada. We are hard on our suits and super picky about why we like a particular style or brand.
Over the years, I have tried several different brands and uncovered the strengths and weaknesses for each one.
These are my top 5/4 mm Surf Wetsuits:
- Rip Curl Flash Bomb 5/4 (click here for current price on Amazon) – Rip Curl Flash Bomb is well known for warmth, flexibility and comfort.
- O’Neill Psycho Tech 5.5/4 (click here for current price on Amazon) -O’Neill doesn’t disappoint and this is one of the most comfortable suits on the market.
- Xcel Drylock 5/4 (click here for current price on Amazon) – This is a bit more budget friendly but still a great suit.
These are my top 4/3 mm Surf Wetsuits
- Rip Curl Flash Bomb 4/3 Hooded (click here for current price on Amazon) – A hooded 4/3 mm provides extra warmth for your head on those chilly days.
- Xcel Comp 4/3 No hood (click here for current price on Amazon) – This the budget friendly option but still a great suit. Excel is a company from Hawaii that makes top quality suits.
