As always with Buell, this wetsuit is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s extremely flexible and warm, and fits perfectly. Being from California, I hardly need anything thinner than a 4/3 but I’ve bee... See more

Buell wetsuits continues to be the only brand I will buy now, after years and years of watersports and different wetsuit brands. Their quality is exceptional and the fit is reliable. Super comfortable... See more

Don't tell anyone how great these suits are because I don't want the prices to go up. Compared to other expensive common brands, these wetsuits last longer, fit better, and are more comfortable. Spit... See more

Great product and Customer Service!

I'm a local San Diego surfer who was looking for a new suit at a decent price. Some of the guys I surf with have bought Buell's so I thought I would write them and ask about any specials going on. Brittney the company rep wrote me back very quickly and told me they had a sale coming up. I ordered one a back zip 3/2 and when it arrived, I thought I would die in it because it was so tight. I'm 6'2" 230 and ordered the xxl which is for 220 to 240. I called my friend and he said they stretch, and he was right after two sessions in the water it fits great. Useful info because like I said I thought I'd die in it. lol I can't stress strongly enough about the company rep Brittney's help. Great product and she is a great asset to your business.

Easy Peezy Wetsuit Purchase

The Buell Wetsuit website was easy to navigate and ordering was a cinch. Received regular updates on the shipping status so knew exactly when I would receive it. Product was exactly what I ordered, in perfect (new) condition and pricing was competitive with other internet websites. As long as it holds up and doesn't fall apart prematurely, I would buy another one (actually this is the second Buell suit I have bought and that one held up well). All in all a very good experience.

Highly recommended!

A great experience buying my first 2 wetsuits. Thanks to Brittney for answering all my questions about fit and features. I was worried about fit as I am tall and skinny (6'2, 158lbs), and I don't fit in the size charts of other wetsuit makers. No problem with Buell! The MT fits me like it was custom made! I'm happy I've found Buell and plan to grab a 4/3 when they come back in stock.

Buell RB1 surpasses my expectations.

Been surfing 50+years and burned through my share of rubber. Used all the majors and then some during these times. Being from SoCal the last 40 years mostly riding in L/S springs and 3/2 & 4/3 fulls. Back zips, slant zips and chest zips. Specifically prefer the front zips which seal great and have the most freedom of movement. My Buell RB1 front zip is the best so far. I'm sort of blown away by the quality, craftsmanship and standard features of the Buell compared to other suits I've owned. Who'd of thought buying a suit sight unseen would be so fast and easy? Super nice touch with the return postage printed and in the box with the suit in case it did not fit. Nice touch Buell. Sizing and fit were right on for me. Received the suit the same week I ordered it. Keep up the awesome work Buell.
