It doesn’t feel like the original tb3 hyperfreak at all. Much less flexible and the suit is super heavy and soaking water super easily. Takes a lot of time to dry and feels heavy in the water.
@@RBNK157 I don't know, mate. I've been pretty loyal to the brand my whole life. The MS is a perfect fit. I reckon I'll opt for the Psycho Tech with TB3. Cheers for the advice.
So I've acquired this one, looks great & is warm (did 4 sessions). However as mentioned here as well, it's nothing like the original. Feels heavy and unstrechy, like it sucks energy during paddling, whereas the original seems like it adds something, fits like a glove, you don't feel it (both M). The chest & shoulder area feels too tight (locked up) and bottom area feels very loose (fitted around small shoulder big bottom models?). Bought its predecessor again (instant surf pleasure, pfffew) and am now stuck with an expensive 450€ suit I can't return. Sorry Wetsuit centre :( !
Same experience as above. Original was perfect, amazing flex and fit. New ones fit horribly (I actually went up a size and it still fits tighter) and have really bad flex. Pointless suit as it is now
I bought a Epic 5-4 back zip. But not really pleased with it. Would a Hyper fire 4-3 be warmer thanthere Epic 5-4 ?? Looking warmth and comfort in cold Belgium weather.
I bought an Epic 5/4 backzip about 1 month ago but I'm a bit disappointed really, I thought it would be warmer. I tried the top entry system but found it waaaaaaaay to difficult to put on and off. It took me easily 10min ! Now my question ... would it be wise to buy an other suit of 4/3 with lining to have more comfort and maybe even warmer then the Epic 5/4 I've now. Maybe a 4/3 also will be possible for me to get in with top entry ?? I've to watch also the budget and found the Epic already more then enough money. But better be comfortable and warm then reget the Epic.
Looks like this is pretty much the Psycho One which is for sure warm but the liquid seams surely make this a fair bit less flexible then the original Hyperfreak?
You are correct! They have actually dropped the Psycho One from the range in Europe in favour of this suit. It has a little more TBX4 and also the TB4 Firewall has the carbon unlike the old Psycho One. But you are right its essentially a replacement for the Psycho One.... Haven't tried one yet, we are big fans of the Hyperfreak so it will be interesting to see how this taping etc effects the flex, we will report back!
@@WetsuitcentreCoUk Those are some nice additions to the old P1 tbf, thanks for making the effort and I look forward to hearing about your findings, certainly shows the care and detailed analysis you guys have for the products, keep it up!
How cold is the 4/3 for? I'd actually say go regular Hyperfreak 3/2+ and 4/3+ (with the Technobutter 3). I think they are still the best suits for now. If your surfing 57/56 and under degrees F, maybe get the 4/3 blueprint for that (its rated 53-60F). Hyprefreak 4/3+ can handle that too, just depends on your cold tolerance. The Fire and Pyscho with their fluid weld seams makes me think they will be more restricting. I have the 4/3+ blueprint and a 4/3+ Hypefreak (regular) and the Hyperfreak is more stretchy and comfortable. But blueprint is warmer. For water 64 -69 the regular Hyperfreak 3/2+ is epic. Favorite suit ever. Hope that helps..I've had quite a few wet suits in my time lol.
