Subject: RE: Xterra Vengeance or Orca Alpha FYI, only BlueSeventy's top of the line wetsuits have the rear zipper like that. I understand for the 1% that don't like to bother someone, but then at least you don't have to worry about someone pulling it down in the swim at least.
I have to assume you don't have the latest the Helix from BlueSeventy. If you do, then you won't find anything else that is so unrestricting in the shoulders and arms and will probably be disappointed by anything else.
Fwiw, I had a friend who is a huge Roka fanboy, wasn't even considering the BS, until a couple of people (myself included ) mentioned to put it in the consideration bucket. He ordered up a bunch of top of the ine wetsuits that have good return policies, tested them all, and he went with the Helix. He messaged me in astonishment at how good it felt. It also tested faster in his own personal test, although being a little bit of a test snob, it probably wouldn't pass my own standards for wetsuits testing.
Ultimately get whatever suit is comfortable for you and you can afford. If you happen to think about BS again now or in the future you can always save 25% on BS here: http://www.thomasgerlach.com/2016/08/blue-seventy-wetsuits-coupon-c...
