was looking at one of those needs to replace my old weathered e-bomb but they were out of stock, took a punt on one of the voltes ($175 on sale at star) pretty happy so far... good fit, no leaks yet, pretty stretchy, will have to wait and see... rather spend the price difference on a new board!

Bargain @ $175!!

I think my Need wettie is the best I've had so far, its very comfy and super warm.

Those Volte suits seem pretty decent, though i'm not a fan of liquid taped seams.

Anyone got any feedback on the Vissla suits?

pretty happy chappy, see how the seams go, im keen on trying a NEED when the time for a new wetty arises again, bought one of their long sleeve tops for summer and am quite a fan, cant really beat all black, no logos and a cheap price really!

Hi has anyone tried the NCHE Wetsuits for $390. meant to be top of the wozza for warmth.

I have the 5/4 with inbuilt hood. Its super warm and toasty in 11 degree water so far. Stretch wise its got nothing on a top line wettie. But still super comfy. Its also half the price of them. I wish I had spent the extra cashola to be honest. Still might. They are very heavy. From all reports from friends of mine back in NZ the lighter suits - their 3/2 and 4/3's are fantastic. But I think the 5/4 still needs some work. Others I have spoken to are happy with their 5/4's - maybe I am just fussy after not using a wettie much the last few years. Anyway it gets you in the water and keeps you warm which what it was designed to do.

NEEDs are good until the back rubber patch section cracks and starts letting in water..... My new 4.3 Devreko on the other hand is MUCHHHHH better! easier to get in and out of, seals better and in general is warmer!!!!! $220 for the NEED $265 express posted for the Devreko which is alot better. check them out!!!!!

Got a VoLTE 4/3 online. $129 US arrived two days later from Wembley, Perth.....dunno why US dollars price
but it very warm but a bit tight XL at the moment I have never had a 4/3 so gotta get use to it but for that price if you need a wettie quick and cheap go for it
