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’ve used this wetsuit in Northern California waters in January where the water temp is usually in the mid 50’s. This suit has kept me warm, but not too warm and is comfortable enough to wear for hours without becoming uncomfortable. It’s a super snug fit so it can take a bit of effort to get on and off, especially with it being a chest zip."
"Great fit, super comfortable, super warm, everything I hoped it would be, but. . . tape coming off in multiple locations after 10 sessions. Still waiting for warranty folks to get back to me after three weeks."
"Great suit, arrived quickly, high-quality, light, very warm. Helps me stay in the water longer. The main reason I deducted a star is that it's still after 10 uses take significantly longer to get on and take off then my last wetsuit."
"We came here to say that we had an extremely good expereience in with purchasing our new 4-3 Evade wetsuits. After accommodating our schedule, Josh invited us to his San Clemente location to try on the wetsuits to verify my son's size and my size in person. Josh immediately produced the exact right size for both of us try on right there. The wetsuits fit perfectly and were very warm when we tried them on. BTW, this is not our first Isurus wetsuit, which is why we are back to buy again. We are very happy with our recent purchase and what's funny is that we can't wait for the water to get cold again . . . Thank you, Josh!"
"Best suit I’ve ever owned. Hands down. Super warm and flexible. Customer service by Josh was fantastic. Helped me get the right size and was available to answer questions. Will be buying isurus suits in the future."
"The best wetsuit i’ve ever owned. I can’t go back to anything else. It’s warm, flexible, and light. It’s perfect for north Ca."
"This suit is great for SF winter water. Only downside was that the zipper broke after about 10 months, Isurus guys hooked me up immediately with a new suit! Great product and fit- my next suit will definitely be from Isurus…. ."
"great suit. old reliable at this point. this is my third 4. 3 Isurus in a row. this new one still delivers the warmth and flexibility i'm looking for. and the MT fits true to size. updates to the zipper are good so far as well."
"One day, 3 years ago I woke up to two Isurus wetsuits hanging on our front gate. My friend Greg, got new ones and gifted a 4/3 and a 5/4 to me. He heavily used them for 2 seasons and they were still beautiful. I had never felt a wetsuit that wonderful. Instant love. Each one kept me warm and comfy for another 3 years until they reached their limit and went to wetsuit heaven. I will only wear an Isurus. Thank you everyone. Insane quality."
"I’ve had several versions of Isurus since the first original. They get better and better each time. Hands down best suits on the market."
