Good suit, still breaking it in
"The cut is so well fitted it is hard to take on and off. I may be between sizes and should have sized up for the 4 mil. . . anything thinner would probably have been fine."

Testimony from the World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Warren Kramer M.D.
World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Newport Beach, CA, September 6, 2019
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

Reviews
Evade 4. 3 is the Warmest and Longest Lasting Wetsuit I've owned
"I need to start my review by saying that I'm still using my 6 year old Evade 4. 3 Hooded Chest Zip wetsuit and it's still going strong. I've never owned such a warm, flexible and long lasting wetsuit, which is why I bought a new one. I will use both of them all winter in the northeast where the water is already down to 46 degrees. Best wetsuits"
A suit made for us Giraffes
"This was the second Isurus suit I've owned, and it's only been a few sessions with this one but I'm very stoked. As a tall lanky surfer, I've always had issues finding a suit with arms, legs, and a torso long enough that I don't feel like I'm wearing the slingshot thong from Borat, while fitting slim enough that I don't come out of the water looking like Violet from Willy Wonka (the classic one, with Gene Wilder. ) The LTS size is the perfect invention. With that said, the 2mil zip free I got a year and a half ago is still going strong and has only gotten more comfortable, more flexible, and more well fitting as the last year has gone by. I imagine I'll have the same results with this suit. Also just to add, any time I had a question I've emailed them and Josh responded pretty quickly without any of the runaround you get from a multi-million dollar "core" brand."
Great suit, great company
"Snug, but moveable, warm - wearing instead of 5/4 on 40 and above days"
Qualité and performance
"After used 2/2 and 3/2 Evade in M, I just bought 4/3 hooded Evade in MT. Best suits !"
Best Wetsuit I've had.
"I've tried a ton of wetsuits and Isurus is by far the warmest wetsuit I have ever tried. On top of that it's insanely stretchy. Favorite suit I've had."
Isurus 4. 3 Buttery Wetty
"The Isurus 4. 3 is the most warm, comfortable, durable and long lasting wetsuit on the market. I love how snug the hood is and doesn’t allow any water in to give you a brain freeze during those cold waters sessions paddling back out."
no regrets
"Used to surfing in boardshorts all year at home. With this wetsuit in a come area, I feel like I’m in my bed in 14C degree water."
New Isurus FS
"I wore O’Neils for decades. Tried a Matuse Hoplight and liked how supple it was. Next was an Excel Infinity Titanium. Warm, but heavy and stiff in the shoulders. I picked up the Isurus because I’ve had multiple shoulder surgeries including a total reverse replacement. The Isurus is the best wetsuit I have found for ease in padding. The warmth, supple compression, and lightness make it my best wetsuit experience so far. I already own a 2ML SS FS and love it too."
Great warmth for its thickness.
"Great warmth for its thickness. Also, great mobility."
