The mid-weight pants are a must for cooler ocean temps during SoCal winters. The Yamamoto neoprene is more supple and flexible than most neoprene in the market, making movement a breeze

I am so cozy and comfortable, honestly the best neoprene and warm top I have ever had ! Thank you Giant Fish !
Great great quality also !

Got the chance to try out some of the early samples and have been, frankly, wearing nothing else since. Super comfy, no chafing, fits like a glove, and each piece (shorts, 1.5, 3m) is perfect for what you want it for.

Every now and again I make a mistake and try some of what I was using before... not wise. All this kit is great.

Biggest problem is pulling on the wet gear from yesterday's paddle since I don't give them a chance to dry out (did I mention 50+ paddles and the kit still looks great?).

Just tried this on a downwind double session and was amazed with the performance. The style is fantastic (love the blue with the orange), and the fit is just amazing; once in paddling position it feels like your own skin, except you are cozy and ready for a great workout. The feature I love the most is the protection of my lower back against the boat; I used to get some chafing every now and then, but the way that this pant is designed, bye bye chafing, hello comfort (more comfort = more paddling). Upon immersion, the seal is so great that I didn't feel any water get in; this made a fantastic combo of dry comfort (not too hot, not cold, just right), and cold water protection upon surprises. All in, totally worth the purchase. Can't wait for the tops to be ready!

My paddling experience goes back 35yrs and I’ve tried all clothing combinations to stay protected in the coldest of pacific NW winter waters without overheating. These neoprene pants are by far the best I’ve ever had. They seal nicely with booties at the ankle and same at the waist, such that no noticeable water gets in. The days below freezing I will add a thin thermal legging underneath. This material is amazing! The articulated cut is perfect for a seated paddler which adds a ton of comfort. I paddled 3-4 times/wk thru fall, winter, spring and they are holding up like new. Great material, design and workmanship. Now I own the shorts too (super comfy!)
