G’day guys, just wondering if anyone has bought a wetsuit online?
Looking for an online site that is cheaper than retail, i have looked but cant really find anything.
Looking at o’neill and ripcurl,
Cheers
Do you know what you’re looking for exactly? Wetsuits are like snowboard boots — not advisable to buy online unless you know exactly which brand/model/side you want. The fit is everything.
If you have access go in to a store and try them on. Even barter the price with them. I live near Torquay which is home to Rip Curl and people don’t even buy from their store due to the high prices on retail. It helps to buy last season suits if you can…3/2 in winter, 4/3 in summer.
Thanks fellas, totally forgot i posted this only just saw. I ended up buying one off gumtree, got it cheap as chips and it fitted perfect. I just can’t justify spending $600 on a wetsuit. On gumtree heaps come up cheap as people have bought the wrong sizes.
He’ll need a custom one to fit his massive balls.
