Just wondering if anyone can recommend a great 4/3 women's wetsuit. Surf shops don't carry much women's stuff and usually just 3/2 steamers so it's hard to even find any. I'm happy to buy off the internet if someone can recommend a good one! Kris

Have a look at the Roxy 'Syncro'. Probably got what you want in a ladies wetsuit.

You could more than likely get one in an Australian surfshop for a little less than $1000 or you could shop online and get one delivered from os for about $250.

You could try out Triple X wetsuits on the north coast, they've got a good deal on their 4/3mm suits,and they come with a lifetime warranty, unless of course you particularly want to contribute to the Kelly Slater retirement fund then go for the Quicksilver

What you should do is go around to all the shops and try all the wetsuits on, use up a lot of the shop sttendants time, get all the relevant opinions then go online and buy it and really screw the shops. Then when you need to warranty it go into your local shop and ask for a warranty, when they tell you they wont help you get mad at them and tell them that they are a roxy dealer and they should help you. Then when they tell you they are going to charge you shipping and handling really get mad and yell at them!

Gidday if these are still in stock, they are deluxe, much better than most. Wont fall to bits in half a winter either. Really good sizing.

Otherwise this one direct from US is really good too.

Hotline is much better rubber quality than major brands. 4/3's stay 4/3's and dont become 1/2's in a couple of months like most.

The mens suits are deluxe too.
