I love this wetsuit shorty! It’s so comfortable and perfect for our local snorkeling trips. The material is high-quality and breathable. I originally ordered a size 2 but it was too small, so I exchanged it for a size -3. Size runs a bit small, so be sure to order up. Great product!

This wetsuit shorty is a great value for the price! Minor negative, the size runs small, so be sure to order up. Also, I wish it came with a strap to secure the front zip. But overall great product!
