Colby + Yamamoto - 5/4mm Hooded Chest Zip Fullsuit - ALL BLACK

Just as warm as my beloved Need Essentials

I had the 6/4/3 from Need Essentials which I loved and kept me warm for 4 seasons of kitesurfing in the SF Bay Area. Bummed that you can't get them in the US any more, but happy to find Colby. Was a bit disappointed that it didn't come with the same terry-cloth panels on the chest and back, but pleasantly surprised that it kept me just about as warm. The fit matches the NE model exactly the same; I didn't have any issues with the C vs V crotch others have mentioned. The medium fit my 5'9, 160lb, 38R chest like a glove. Looking forward to seeing how many seasons I can wring out of this one.

So far so good !

Arrived sooner than I expected. Water warmed up and haven’t had a chance to test it out yet. Fits great and feels super comfy. 6’1” 180 . Could have probably gone with a L instead of LT

Great service , flexible and warm suit

I was little when unsure about size but called and got good advice. First surf in 30 F air temps and 48F water. Suit was great and felt like I was wearing a 4/3 . Good to get into for older guy😀
