Jonah, I like my X-Cel suits, they use the best material available and have good sizing. There are allot of suit out there, the key is to get a suit that fits right and is made from the better grades of neoprene. There also are allot of gimmicks out there the titanium, metal, and the gold are marketing gimmicks. The skin-in material that they are making many of the suit out of today is warmer then nylon two(but it's not as strong).
It's alway funny to watch product lines evolve, I started with a skin-in suit in 1969 and now they are the newest and greatest. Also Body Glove did not invent wet suits the neoprene came from the air craft industrie and divers made their own wet suits in the early days.
Good Luck,
