My review of the Hurley Advantage Plus 3/2 wetsuit.
I've surfed with it for a few weeks now, and I like it! Pretty much as warm as my 4/3 7TILL8 wetsuit from last year.
The stitching on the knee is coming unraveled though.

DUDE! Thats a sick wetty! Plus you got the pro stripes, which instantly makes you 20% better at surfing
Haha right! Soooo stoked for the pro stripes 🤣💪
I had the 2019 model, which I bought after your review. The fit was perfect, I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately a stitch under the armpit came loose, and I could return it under warranty (2 weeks before warranty void). I read a review with the same issue. One of the shop assistants where I bought it asked if I had problems in the calf area as well, and now that I come to think of it, kind of. Sometimes water accumulated in the calf area and I had to release it every now and then.
did they replace it for you?
what you might try to prolong the life in your fullsuits is by using a durable grocery bag around your foot each time you put on a leg. alternate or try keeping them clean as you can and use a storage bin to get our of your wetty in. better than rough/contaminated surfaces.
you can melt the unraveling stitch and put some neoprene cement over the seam. good work!
Haha yeah.I cant put it on without a grocery bag
Yeah the grocery bag trick is great, especially when the suit is still wet!
For getting out of the suit, we have this :) hostevie.com/shop/wetsuit-changing-mat.html
Yeah I cant handle cold either. 64 and below, especially if the wind chill is bad, and I'm in my 4/3. I went back to the back zips. I found that the chest zip and zip free cause some shoulder restriction on one side.
I'm torn between chest and back zip. I liked my Oneill backzip, but supposedly chest zips are warmer and more flexible
65 degrees !!!! Dam wish the water was still that warm here on the eastcoast im still wearing a 4/3 and the water is 50degrees and air is about 40 I hate winter time soon I’ll be back in a 5.4 and water will be in the 30’s
haha sooooo cold, I wouldn't be able to do it!
That happen to my same Hurley suit but in the arm was like the 4time using the suit .. was pretty bummed out .. other then that the Hurley suit fits awesome and keeps the water out and u definitely stay warm .. I think there is a one year warranty on these suits
ah bummer. well I just emailed them, so we'll see what they say. Worst case I can put some wetsuit glue on it
I had a 4/3 which broke down and stretched out pretty quickly , the sleeves got worn out from my elbows, and had a couple of leaking problems
my buddy had the same issues. Only good thing is that is light and stretchy.
hmmm bummer
Stevie, which one would you choose, Hurley Advantage Plus 4/3 or Vissla 7 Seas 4/3 ?
I've never tried the vissla, so can't say!
i am tall and skinny as well and 3/2 just doesn't cut it.....so i got back in water today since 05 and bought brand new oneill physco one 4/3 and have to say while flexible it definetly wasn't a warm suit, already thinking of getting rip curl FB heatseaker (expensive) or last years xcel drylock both in 4/3....when you don't have a lot of meat on your bones hard to stay warm...….ive always been colder than any of my friends in water.....so i look for mid 40's temp suits for mid 50 deg water..... i couldn't even get to my feet today, lol....gonna take a bit of time and i felt so weak in water....still tho felt good to burn muscles and be in ocean
good luck man, it's good that you're back in the ocean, even if it's cold! 🙌 you always feel better after
Great video! Will you do a review about the XCEL Drylock Celliant? Heard it is perfect.
thanks man! Just got my Xcel Drylock 4/3, doing a review soon 😊
Dude I was wearing my 3/2 Xcel Drylock here in Norway. I tried my 6/5 and was roasting. I’m from Florida and also 6’0” 155lbs. Or for my euro friends 182,5 cm 70.2kilos. Btw the water here is 46 F
that's so cold!!
Hey Stevie, I have an almost not used Hurley Advantage Plus 3/3 and the legs are falling apart the same way as your old wetsuit, just after a few sessions. I still have the warranty and I can change it for an Advantage Plus 3/2 (no more 3/3 in the market) but wonder how was with your 3/2, is it strong? or the quality wasn't that good?
my 3/2 is great! no problems after I had it replaced :)
*Yes I know I'm a baby when it comes to water temp* 👶
lol my east coast friends make fun of me so much for it
i live in ojai and surf ventura always go to emma wood of sulimar never mondos its packed
would love to meet you man
@@jakobgonzalez976 dude come down to San Diego!
Im the same way lol
He Stevie, im trying to buy a LS Hurley wetsuit , I’m 6’1 and about 155 lbs, would you recommend either a MT or LS, is there a big difference between the two sizes? What do you think? Please help me out
MT for sure. LT will be too wide and short for you.
@@HoStevie thanks I really appreciate it, “happy thanksgiving”
Hi, great video !! I’m 1.87m 73kg, which size should i get ? MT or ST ?
MT
Do a review on the advantage elite if you get the chance!
next up is the Xcel Drylock 4/3
Hey Stevie, I just got the Hurley Advantage Plus 3/2mm for Christmas today and I got a medium since all my other wetsuits like from ripcurl and billabong are a medium. This wetsuit felt kind of tight even though it was my size, does it feel better/break in after a few uses so it won’t be as tight?
Merry Christmas!
Mine still feels as tight as it did on day 1, and I like that
Sounds crazy, but I use a tiny amount of super glue as soon as I see a stitch starting to wear. It's definitely helped me prolong life. Still rocking a rip curl 3/2 from 3 years ago.
good idea
That 7till8 wetsuit looks to be in pretty bad shape haha, do you usually leave them outside to dry in the sun? Doing so can decrease the longevity of your wetsuits
Yeah, sometimes I'll put it in the shade if I remember. Luckily we are launching our wetsuit hangers VERY soon, and I can hang my suits in the shade 😎
Hey! İm 77 kg and 184cm MT or L ?
Probably MT 👍
You should return it bc of the knee
Yeah I'm gonna contact Hurley and see what they say
@@HoStevie got any response? :) curious how Hurley customer service is like
What if you had a 4/3 Drylock, you think that would be too warm for 60F?
that's what i have now, and I love it
@@HoStevie Too warm for 60-70F? I'm going to Florida in a week, staying there for a month. Choosing between 3/2 and 4/3 Drylock so far. Always been in sweet water in Montreal mostly, ocean can be a bit different temp wise with all the currents. I know Florida is warm and I was fine in a 4/3 Psycho 2 5 years ago in the river at 70F, so I'm willing to go with a 4/3 drylock for long hours in the ocean. What do you think?
ummm for 60-70 a 3/2 would prob be good
i had an xcel back in 05 along with many others and have to say i liked xcel the best.....this is suit i am going for and dumping the oneill pyscho 1.....plus i think xcel fits skinny people a lil better or at least used too....billabong (b4 hurley) was another that fit skinny really well
Do you clean your wetsuit after surfing ?
yup I always hose it off or rinse it in the shower
Ho Stevie is the best stevie👌🏼😄
Ain't that the truth! 🙌🔥💥
Ho Stevie! Hey man we should meet up sometime I live in California with my dad and we surf we always go to Ventura point you should come and check it out
@@sharethestoke7548 come to San Diego! How cold is Ventura in the winter?
Ho Stevie! It's not to bad definitely wanna bring a 4/3 and maybe some booties its rocky at Ventura point. I am going to visit family December 15 to Jan 4 but if you come after then we can hit the barrels😄🤘🏼
yeeeeeew looks sick ho Stevie
💥💥💥
How cold was the water that day
lol are you saying my eggplant is looking small 🍆
Nah because I also live in San diego
Nice vid was the water warm
thanks! Water has been around 60-65 degrees. Not warm by my standards
Hi how ya doing
thriving!
What im reading in the comments is that the hurley wetsuits are not very durable. My friends hurley got a huge whole. Of the mid level priced wetsuits ive found vissla to be the most durable.
yup
Vissla suits seem good, and we should have Ho Stevie wetsuits available in a few weeks!
Yewww🤙🤙
I have a 4.3 Hurley Advantage Plus. Worst wetsuit i've bought. Logos all fell off after the first surf, rips in the neoprene started appearing randomly and the knee stitching become unraveled. Suit was awesome for a week but would not recommend as an everyday wetsuit. Only buy one of these if your a professional surfer who will wear it once.
oh bummer! Not my experience at all (except for the initial unravelling that was replaced)
You should never dry your wettie in direct sunlight
Yup now I use our wetsuit hangers in the shade: hostevie.com/shop/wetsuit-hanger.html
Hurley wetsuits are the worst they just fall apart I had 1 fell apart within a week they gave me another one same thing got my money back and bought a rip curl flashbomb no dramas
ahh dang
flashbomb heatseeker suppose to be pretty toasty but $$$$
so you spit
