Billabong has completely revamped the Foil line of wetsuits this year, and they did a really nice job for the price point! This top features 100% superstretch neoprene for excellent flexibility in the water. They beefed up the stretch by adding top of the line "Airlite" superflex to critical pivot points, and eliminating some unnecessary seam panels. Also features: Durable flatlock stitched seams, anti-chafe seams and collar, a short back zipper to ease entry/exit, and a boardshort fastner to minimize "ride ups."
Every Billabong wetsuit is made of the finest quality materials and workmanship. Proper care will insure many happy seasons of use. Please be sure to rinse your suit with fresh water and hang out to dry. A number of wetsuit care products can be found on our Wetsuit Accessories page. As always,try to avoid contact with sharp and/or abrasive objects. Billabong wetsuits come with a limited 12 month warranty on materials and workmanship.

Perfect for Me

Nice fit! I am usually XL in most wetsuits. From past experience I know that billibong runs small so i ordered the 2XL and it fits just right.I especially like the zipper on tail! All vests should have this feature.
Just enough

Second the previous comments. For me it's minimal warmth with a little extra protection for the chest when paddling. Really minimal warmth, but I'm skinny.

Keeps me plenty toasty where I'm at, average winter water temp is 76F; keeps my core warm and doesn't restrict shoulder rotation. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

The short zipper on the bottom back is a great feature and makes getting on/off easier. Very flexible neoprene. Not sure about the value of the loop in front for attaching to trunks. Didn't need to use that feature as vest stayed in place without.
Excellent mobility

A great vest for those of us not used to wearing any wetsuit in the ocean. This vest keeps me warm in 65° water and it's easy to get on and off.

Well made and does what I was hoping it would do, keep me warm while teaching sequential swimming lessons in a pool. It is a bit more difficult to get out of than I would I would have liked, but I am 68 and have a bad shoulder, so iy might not bother others. If I were going to change anything, I would suggest a longer zipper. All in all it is OK, fine.
