After doing a little research I am looking at either the Oniell Epic 3/2 sealed or the Billabong Foil 3/2 sealed. Anyone have any experience with either. It appears the Foil may leak a bit in the zipper based on some reviews.

Thanks in advanced brosephs

I tend to prefer oneill when it comes to wetsuits. But my recommendation is that whatever you get, make sure it has welded seams. Like the Oneil psycho.

I really like my Oniell. My GF really likes her Billabong. I would think Oneill blew Billabong out of the water, but hers is really nice, as is mine. If you can, try them on and get the better fitting suit.

I've worn O'Neill for 30 years and have always been very happy. Super well made and they stand behind their product.

Another vote for O'Neill. No complaints here. Well made and comfortable.

I have Oneill and Roxy. Both are great!

I have the Billabong 3/2 Foil sealed. It does leak a little around the zipper, but I'm satisfied with it. From what I understand, leaking around the zipper isn't terribly uncommon in wetsuits. I can't compare it to the O'Niell though since I've never worn one.

Im a big fan of my oniell mutant. Its got a hood that zips on or replaces for a regular wet suit neck. Its really nice for surfing and wake boarding. And there is not zipper to leak cause you climb in the head hole.
