I need some advice for best custom wetsuit. I want something that will last a long time and keep me warm. The best quality possible. I recently bought a wet wear wetsuit based on many reviews of people who have been happy in the past. I’ve ran into a lot of problems with the process, communication, and quality. I’m having to send it back to be adjusted first too loose of a neck size. It’s letting water down my back. Along with that, there is multiple threads in several places pulling out and it has only been 5 dives. For an $800 wetsuit that is unacceptable.
I know the company has been having problems the last few years and now the owner is having a lot of health problems. It sucks but, at the end of the day I need what I paid for. I wanted to order a second suit but thicker. At this point with all the problems I’m having I think that would be a bad idea. Any suggestions on other brands with personal longterm experience?
 
Check with Chris at Terrapin Wetsuits, terrapinwetsuits.com, +1 (830) 226-5194, in Centerpoint Texas. While I have not had a custom suit from her, she has altered three of my four wetsuits, and I have been very happy with the quality of her work. I have also seen several of her customs suits, which were fabulously crafted.
 
I have been extremely pleased with a custom suit from 7till8. It's the same thickness as my old Xcel Drylock but feels twice as warm.
