Have a look at Triple X in Ballina, Zee on the Sunny Coast and Wing , down in Caringbah, near Cronulla. I have a couple of Zee wetties, one is only a 2mm flatlock springy but its great for Autumn/Spring. The steamer is 3/2mm and as the owner said it actually is 3/2 so it's a bit thicker than the wetties you see in the shops.

I looked on their website and it said 100% Aussie owned and operated. You've got me thinking now Udo. Pretty misleading if they're importing.

what about Fox. Iwas in Coolangatta yesterday and saw a blackboard outside a surf shop
saying Aust. made wet ties. From memory i think they started in south oz in the seventies.
