Good suit. Amazing for the price. If you wear a Large in wetsuits and you have some muscle? Get an XLS. its a little smaller in the chest than most larges. Still a great suit. Only... IT SMELLS LIKE A BAG OF WEED??? after wearing the suit my skin smells like canibis despite a shower with soap and water. Hanging in my bathroom it smells like a bag of strong weed is left open in the room. WTF!? Made with hemp oil?Good wetsuit, but did not match the size chart. I got the medium/short. My boyfriend is 5'5" and 155lbs. He has a very muscular upper body, little bit of a beer gut, and thick muscular thighs.. Everything seemed to fit until I tried to zip it up. Would not zip up even an inch. This is not for people with large upper bodies. Thin men ONLY. I read somewhere that this particular model was good for people with larger upper bodies- this is 100% incorrect!Initial impressions, the material is very light and stretchy. Doesn't feel like a 3/2 more like a 2/2 comp suit.Being used 1-2 times a day, will be surprised if this thing doesn't tear after a few sessions.Didn't know Oneill makes their suits in the same place they grow herb. My living room smells like a head shop. The postal guy was cracking up when it got delivered.Will follow up with a more comprehensive review once we get a swell.Like some of the previous reviews my wetsuit also arrived stinking of weed ?.Aside from that it is perfect. Very comfortable and warm compared to my previous Oneill wetsuit which is about 4 years old and at half the price of what I paid 4 years ago i cant complain!!Got it in the mail today, put it on and went surfing. Coldest day of the year so far, air temp around 50F, gusty, windy afternoon with wind chill around 40F. This suit replaces an older O'Neill Hammer and feels twice as warm and twice as flexible. The new suits are so much better then suits just 5-6 years old. Suit went on super easy, nice ankle and wrist grippers and the neck seal is like butter.This suit worked great for me, fit well (used the fitting guide on O'Neil website), and seems great if you need this weight suit. The water temps were in the high 50s so I added a wet suit jacket for another layer and was fine all day in this suit.I guess I'm an oniell fanboy. I've been wearing their wetsuits for 30 years. The heat does not disappoint. Extremely easy to get on and off, super stretchy so paddling is a non issue. The name days it all, this thing will keep you toasty.This suit smells like weed and it permeates your skin. Cant get the smell off even after a hot shower. Makes my whole garage smell like a skunk. Was hoping it would pass but not a chance. Bought a wetsuit soak thinking it would help and it didn't touch the stench. Must be a factory problem or a knockoff, but other reviewers say the same thing. Would not purchase. Super dissatisfied
