A few thing went wrong here.
I am short, that’s problem number one. This pants are made for TALL people.
If you want them for surfing, better get the full suit.
This pants when wet they get so heavy and if water goes in, you’re done. So uncomfortable.
Too bad I can’t return them.
Love this pant! Super comfortable and perfect for summer river or wake surf in the PNW. Per the size chart for weight I’d be more of a 10 but the 8’s are perfect for me. 5'7, 158lbs athletic build. Purchased these after the full suit I got from Matuse. The quality from these guys is top tier, no reason to ever switch to another company.
I have not used them yet but they are of good quality and fit.
I use the dive pants for paddling, swimming, surfing, and diving. They fit great and they won’t fill up with water when I’m swimming.
So good
