I think so, but I'd like that all if possible for under $500
Hotline wetsuits are a company started and run by a woman, she designs the womens wetsuits too, or has a big say in the design.
I have had two hotline wetties, and both have been less than acceptable.
First one was a zipless neck entry, and the waist was so small that I couldn't get it over my thighs, so that went back before I could even use it.
the replacement was a 5:3 hooded, managed to get in that one, but the crotch was so long, I ended up with a long loose flap at the front fanny like it was designed for a mans' endowment to fit in.
Hood was so rigid that i couldn't turn my head or it was a fight to hold my head up while paddling, that it gave me the biggest neck strain headache.
that went back.
My Oneill psychoII is such a biartch to get off, it takes me literally 10-15 mins if I try it by myself, and exhausts me with all the inching, twisting and contorting.
My Oneill hailo, is a good fit, but the neoprene did a stretchy on me, and if i get a bit of water in it, it turns into a sloshy potato sack.
ROXY wetties are make for boobless and thighless girls, so are womens' WEST's.
Never tried a ripcurl though.
