experience with Billabong wetsuits?

[Pat-Juh]

do any of you have good or bad experiences with billabong wetsuits??? the Solution Gold line in perticular...

Looking for a new 3/2 suit and this Solution Gold seems really nice for the price (230€) it has glue and stitched seams with exteriour welding (rubber) which doesn't leak... (i have a GaS wetsuit (5/3) and it's hardly leaking so this welding should be even better!)

the rest is like any other suit.. 100% stretch, anti-flush thing behind the zipper (RC calls is batwing. BB calls is solution entry system)...

any other suggestions??

ps: available brands here are:
Billabong
Oneill
Rip Curl
Solamon

max: 230€ (Psycho2 is eliminated :P)

i have the psycho, not the psycho 2 and its great. it has stretch a bit at the bottom of my ankles so it lets water in when the white water shoots ups the beach. besides that i love it and im prob gonnause it for many more years. i have heard nothing bad bout the billabong suits so anything that expensive should be really good.

hehe yeah... but we've got a problem in europe... mainly France... allmost every big brand is stationed there (Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver... Don't know bout Oneill though) and Rip Curl is hard with returned equipment, billabong too, quiksilver is allmost as bad according to some shop keepers..

that's why I wanted to know if you had any problems with billabong suits etc..
