First impression is this is a nice quality suit.
The neoprene is soft, light and supple, on par with other premium Japanese suits I've had over the years. Construction seems good quality, glued and blind stitched, tape added through the legs, nice quality zipper, and supple smooth rubber around the neck closure. The sleeves have little silicone strips to help keep them in place. Be careful with the velcro closure around the neck, it seems to love to catch on and fray/pill the outer face fabric of the wetsuit.
Fit seems mostly on part with other brands' Men's XL. Suit might be a touch long on me through the legs, but I'm on the shorter, stockier end of the size XL spectrum, so this isn't unheard of for me.
I wouldn't say no to some kind of back/neck gasket as a safeguard to flushing. No major issues yet, but it would add a little extra protection and maybe a touch of warmth.
The brown color is rad and I appreciate the subdued logo/branding.
