This looks like a hell of a deal compared to prices on other suits I have looked at. I would guess the price reflects craftsmanship, but does anyone have any pros or cons to this suit.

At $80 I think it might be my first suit. Think Ill ask Santa to see if he can get me one made before Christmas

for you $80 it's tough to pass by a new vortex suit......... these are 2-3 year old left overs as vortex is no longer around
don't even think about using it with barefoot shorts under it

we have 1 hanging around in the wetsuit closet, the leg straps are ratchet type , not cam lock strap like everyone else
they do have drain holes in the legs which I like........ they are not as thick as a BI suit, or eagle or kso..........
but still $80.........

I just sold a 10+ yo BI suit in excellent condition for $100, which kinda stinks because I was looking @ it for my own use since I all but wore out my old one and Phil stole (I mean purchased) my new one........

it's good to see the demand for used BI suits is still there........ Mike a china made vortex V2 w/shorts will do fine and be 1/2 the cost of a new BI, KSO or Eagle

looking through my BI inventory I found a few items tucked in back
BI Iron shorts XL, BI Green all over graphic T shirts XXL, BI white logo t-shirts XL, BI Heater shirts L & XL
all on ebay  :)
