I really liked my NP 5000 series suit. All smooth skin, very soft, very comfortable. It just started on its third year and it's falling apart. Pretty much all the glued seam tape came off on the inside. The seams on the outside are starting to come apart in places. In comparison, my 3/2 XCEL is older and still looks new. The NP has A GREAT DESIGN but the build quality is shite.
Eidt: I take care of my suits after each session. I wash the and dry them with the hanger dryer. It hangs in my closet in the off season. The neoprene is in perfect shape, just the seams are junk on the NP. |

Mo,
Glad to have a woman respond here. It is a good deal but I don't know if this Roxy suit offers similar warmth. I was hoping someone had experience with the warmth, and also fit and durability.
Thanks _________________ Brian S
