Nice and comfy
Big improvement from my last quicksilver steamer., it’s much easier to get on and off.
Only thing I’d mention is the sizing it probably a little bit bigger than previous ones but all is good.

Great wetsuit for my 12 year old
Great wetsuit for my average sized 12 year old - bit of room to grow into but not too much excess room.

Best wetty yet
This is by far my favourite wetsuit iv ever owned. It’s warm, stretchy and dries fast. Getting it on/off is seamless due to its stretch yet that doesn’t allow water in. I’m really impressed with this one! Only thing I noticed is it’s a bit tight on the upper body and looser on the legs, all in all a 9/10 for this wetsuit.

Defender 3/2 Steamer
I expected this product to be high quality and high performance - it is! For me one of the best things about it is the tailored sizing (XLS) - I would buy more product in this size if there where more available - great wetsuit!
