I've been fortunate enough to have used a lot of wetsuits. Beginning with the O'neill beavertail through the stiff fullsuits of the late 20th century, up to the present time. Many suits have their gimmicks: quick dry, neck gators, tight wrist and ankle cuffs, but they're still the same ill-fitting, moderately flexible suit.
Then a quantum leap occurred.
Isurus created a surgical glove
It's also exceptionally warm, with the flexibility in the shoulder and hips where it's needed.
As the Orthopedic Surgeon for the ASP/WSL for the last 25 years, I've seen a multitude of injuries from tight, poor fitting suits. The cut and stitch pattern is superb to allow exceptional flexibility through the shoulders. This decreases the risk of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff damage. The zipper less entry and exit is also very flexible around the shoulder which also decreases the risk of rotator cuff or labral damage.
I have also experienced myself the low back stiffness that occurs with a poorly fit wetsuit that allows low back chill. Even though the Shield is only a 2/2, the stitch and paneling is done to maximize fit with optimal warmth to the low back area.
Spend a little bit more on this fabulous suit rather than in my office with your shoulder pain. Buying quality never goes out of style. I rarely give testimonials, but I believe in Isurus wetsuits.
I don’t do surgery in garden gloves.
You shouldn’t surf in a suboptimal wetsuit
At Isurus, our passion is to build world-class wetsuits that stand up to the harshest conditions the ocean might offer.
Living and surfing in and along the California coast, a frequent topic of conversation was just how much wetsuit innovation had stagnated and quality had deteriorated. It is about designing a wetsuit that improves surfer performance. Click for more about Isurus wetsuits.

"I love this top. I have worn it once while surfing and it shocked me because i normally hate tops. They always ride up or fill with water and basically are just wind protection. Not this one, feels great, has stretch, and warmth. Its a great top, i wore it in around 63 degree water for about a half hour and was very warm."
"Outstanding suit. Very comfortable in the water. Next purchase for me will be the Shield 3. 3 zip free for the colder temps. Josh and his team provide excellent customer service. I had a few questions and Josh responded immediately. 👍😎"
"Just love my Evade 1. 5. It is my go to top. I even use it daily in the summer in Hawaii. This is my 3rd top. The 1st one was just worn out. Please don't ever get rid of this!!!!"
"I have 4 Isurus wetsuits and this top. All my wetsuits I love so I bought the top for summer. First time wearing and stitching is coming done all over. Isurus had me take it to be repaired at their cost at the local wetsuit repair place. One surf later and it’s still coming apart in other places. It’s warm and stretchy and I do love it but it barely made it through one summer. Customer service is great, the other wetsuits are great and stay together but this one needs some work."
"Evade 1. 5 completely tore apart at the seam 1 month after I received my order. I've asked for a return label and repair/replacement for over a month now and cannot get any help. Good product when there are no defects but why is the customer service hit or miss?"
"Better feel better stretch better fit"
"Freakin best suits I’ve ever owned!! #Isurusforlife"
"I’ve worn multiple brands of wetsuits and pullovers. This one is one of my favorites. Well made, fits good, and looks good. I’m 6’2 210 and the XXL fits me perfectly. Will be buying a full suit for next winter."
"Best top I’ve ever owned. Fits perfectly. Arms don’t fill up with water. Warm. Comfortable. Highly recommend."
"High quality top fits great super warm stretchy. Checks all boxes. Get one you won’t regret it."
