Bloody love the Rip Curl Trad 4/3. I was after a wettie that would be warm for Tassie winters, relatively easy to get on and off, would last a long time, and wouldn't break the bank.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
I was stepping out of a Rip Curl Omega 4/3 and what I noticed straight away was the far superior build of the Trad. Every inch of all the seams is taped over verey secure stitching and glue. In the Omega, taping was here and there, and I found the seams splitting after just one winter.
For sure the Trad is heavier - literally; it weighs more. No doubt this is due to the type of neoprene used in its construction. As the name suggests, it's not the latest thing. What it is, is a very affordable suit that keeps out the cold so I can get on with logging right through the winter.
Hyper-ride's price was the best on the web, and even coming from NZ, with their $20 first buy voucher the postage was covered.
The gear, baby!!
