Marlin Nordic, 5/3mm Wetsuit

Advantages: Cheap, some decent features
Disadvantages: Cheap!

...Having bought a few big name wetsuits which were by no means perfect I thought I'd try one of the cheap, no frills options. Crusader sell direct from their website or on ebay. The ebay option works out cheaper most of the time and the delivery is pretty quick. The suit itself is nothing special to look at; standard black with red or blue trim. There are no pre-bent elbows or knees here, just thick, standard neoprene. Movement is restricted by this suit moreso than in a more expensive brand, but not by a great deal. The fit isn't great, the torso having no contouring to it. Buy one for a guy with a big chest and you'll find a little too much loose material around the waist. The other problem with these standard sizes is that taller people will struggle. There is no extra tall option so you may find yourself going from Large to... 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.

If you do own one which is only slightly... Read review

Advantages: Good third album
Disadvantages: not as good as previous 2 albums

...I loved the first album from Lene Marlin, and when the second album came out I bought that too, then I was browsing Amazon and noticed the third album had come out and ordered that too. If you liked the first two albums you'll like this too, as it is more of the same style, but with a couple more edgy songs that I do really like. How would it be - is the standout song for me on the album, it has the distintive tone's of Lene, but is a bit more pop orientated than her normal songs. There are 11 tracks on the album and I like them all, just like Lene's other albums, so its good value for money too! The songs are quite simple, but well written and Lene has a great voice, I'd recommend it if you liked the other albums.... Read review
