Could someone review their new wetsuit? Is it better than TB3 or only more expensive?

Many thanks in advance!

I used the O'neill Hyperfreak fire 5/4 : it is very warm

but not also flex. And the TB4 dry fast ! I like this wetsuit and quality is pretty good !

Ooh, I'm interested in reading reviews too. From what I've experienced, it's hard to go wrong with an O'Neill wetsuit. I've tried many different wetsuit manufacturers and I keep coming back to O'Neill. Their wetsuits just fit me better, are warmer, and more comfortable (flexible). Pretty tough to beat them for quality/cost. I used to hate wetsuits with a passion. TB3 finally made them bearable for me.

Love me Technobutter suits. Comfortable, lightweight and dry quickly. Some friends have converted to them now and also love them. If they fit ya right I don’t think you can go wrong. I haven’t heard anything about TB4 but can’t imagine any issues with it.
