Well its come to that time of year again when we all pull out our winter wetties, and sadly mine was expired.
Fed up with paying top dollar for the major brand names, and only getting just over a season out of them, i did a bit of research and found Probe wetsuits. They are are Geelong based company, that make a full range of surf and dive suits at a premium level, and budget price.
For example a new iFLEX 4/3 direct online, express post, is only $270.
They also have a new range out this year called iDRY, it is "QUICK-DRY TECHNOLOGY" fleece lining not only dries super fast; it's also super warm, super flexible, super comfortable against your skin and super easy to get on and off. Featured throughout the entire inside of the suit - you'll never have to put on a wet, cold wetsuit ever again!. This suit is available in 5 and 7mm and is plenty flexiable and comfy enough to sail in.
For the lucky ones up north that don't need wetties very often they even have a full range of Insulators and UV tech lycra.
Online is a sizing guide that works quite well, (mine Fit), great guys to deal with, i'll be wearing their gear from now on, so if your thinking off a new wettie don't pay full price have a look at at these.
I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and its warm and comfy, can't fault it, its built just as well as leading brands for half the price.
This gear is worth a look!

Not only can google be your best friend, it's always there for you. By way of a clue one might say they are the royalty of aquatic activities.

pimping BS. The windsurfing forums have been relatively free of this (apart from a couple of JP/NP fan boys).
If ya wanna advertise then why not pay for the privilege and sponsor the site. There are many that do and this stuff only erodes the value they may see in sponsorship.

So he recieved a cheap wetsuit and is happy with the product.. big deal. Most of us will promote a product here if were happy with it.. I got a discount the other day on some Xcel booties and the're great .. so am I pimping or just happy to be spreading some information regarding a product that I think is excellent.

Are you officially sponsored by Xcel? He has admitted he is, and that is good of him (although it didn't happen straight away). Also have you posted price and technical details on the booties that read not far off an ad? There is a big difference between this post and simply saying I am an average consumer that got a great deal on product X.
There are a number of companies that PAY to advertise on this site, why should they have to compete against this sort of advertising? Red thumb me all you like, but it is what it is. I know if I was an advertiser and this kept going unchecked I would probably question paying for something you can get for free.
