I just ordered a Xcel Infiniti Glideskin Hooded Vest Online Scuba

It's a bit late to ask if you've already placed the order

So? That is still a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has
bolted.

You've placed the order so either enjoy your new bit of kit, or regret it,
sell at a loss and get what you actually needed!

IMNSHO a wet suit is a wetsuit is a wetsuit. OK, some look a bit nicer than
others, with colourful patches and he-man armoured / ribbed sections, but
they're all made of neoprene & go over your body. The most important thing
is the fit, irrelevant of make.

If it fits, is comfortable, has the right amount of insulation and does not
limit your movement or circulation then it is OK.

If id does not meet any of the above then it's not OK. It's not down to
price, its down to getting the right suit for the diving conditions and
you're body shape.

I personally would not buy a suit without trying on several different suits
from various manufacturers, as each will have a slightly different cut, just
like off-the-peg business suits.

As someone who is allergic to either certain types of neoprene or the glues
that are used to attach the liners to them, I can definitely confirm that
they are not all the same from at least that aspect...

As far as the actual neoprene is concerned, supposedly the Rubatex is
better...

Since fit is so much more important on a wetsuit, I would be rather
skeptical on finding one that fit me acceptably without trying it on
first... Even the inconsistancies in manufacturing is enough that I would
not assume that two wetsuits of the same size would fit me exactly the
same... It seems that most wetsuit manufacturers take the S-M-L-XL-XXL-...
approach to sizing... There are a couple of manufacturers that combine these
with the concept of regular, short, or tall designators, thus giving a
pretty good selection of off-the-rack sizes without having to go the custom
route...

The website says that they have a 30 day, 100% refund guarantee policy (not
including shipping). If it's a good deal (?) why not take a chance?
Convenience and spontaneity are signs of the times, my friends. It appears a
lot safer than buying off eBay. Having said that, I too would be interested
in hearing from folks who have had experiences with them.
