What do you recommend is better for a SUMMER suit around the Lower Mainland; O'Neill Hammer 3/2 or O'Neill Epic 3/2?
My current suit is an O'Neill Hammer 3/2 and has been fine for the last three summer seasons. It does not have glued seems so it flushes more quickly. This can be a good and bad thing. It is starting to show its age. I could replace the Hammer with another Hammer but the Epic is not that much more money and it has glued seams. Glued seems might be good at times but I'm concerned in the summer it might be too warm.
Are any of you using the Epic as a summer suit? How is it?
The summer suit is mostly for English Bay from around May to September. I also have an O'Neill mutant 5/4 that I use for Squamish and the cooler months (March-May, September-November.)
I hope to order one this week so any advice you can provide is required somewhat quickly. Thanks for the feedback.
