Billabong Oscillator 5/4/3mm 2005 Wetsuit

Advantages: Ease of movement, warm,
Disadvantages: Not for the winter,

...I bought this wetsuit in the sale in january when a lot of shops and websites seemed to be gettin rid of last years stock. However, i was not interested in the design so much of the wetsuit as the price and the features. Although having said that I think that this wetsuit looks particulary stylish. I went for the black/blue/grey design. It is mainly black apart from having grey on the lower half of the arm and down the sides, with blue on the top half of the arm and around the back. It also has Smooth skin 5mm chest and back panels to eliminate wind chill. ::: Performance ::: I will admit I have only used this suit a few times but have been very impressed. I have found it very warm, and very easy to move in the suit. The suit has G-Flex shoulder panels which give excellent flexibility as well as having pre-bend limbs. The suit... Read review

Being a large company, Billabong throw a lot of money into this "quest" and supply lt jet ski's and helicopters ect. The DVD goes through... Read review

Advantages: Keeps you warm
Disadvantages: A bit thin for winter surfing

...Over all I was pleased with this wetsuit, its does the job and was redeemably priced. COMFORT AND PARCTICALITY A wetsuits comfort, whatever make it is will depend on wither it is a short summer suit or a long winter one. A short suit would be more comfortable when the water is warmer and you are spending more time on the beach itself, however if a short suit is too larger it tends to shift around much more giving you're a very sour neck. Most Circle One longies make good summer and winter suits because they are thin enough that you will not get too hot in the summer but it is still bearable in January/ February, however it is still important to get one the right size because wearing one which is too small will restrict your movement and one which is too large will rub on your neck and chest. If you do own one which is only slightly... Read review
