“After only a couple of times using this wetsuit I noticed a few things, the fit was perfect, the wetsuit is comparably warmer than my previous wetsuit (different brand), its very flexible (I have only had one other wetsuit that has better flexibility characteristics), highquality stitching, all in all this is a great wetsuit for the price. I would say its a excellent value for the price.
The way the neoprene is cut works great for improved paddling, thanks to the form and fit you can paddle longer since you are not fighting the wetsuit for movement, the neoprene is very comfortable, the kneepads are pretty durable material and well placed.
I do not have a long term review as this one is brand new to me, but i have been using a 4/3 buell wetsuit for 2 winter seasons and based on my observations there are only a few things that tend to split after a while, the back of the neck starts to split on the inside flaps, the ankles start to loose their elasticity and "break" or crack the material, one thing that is becoming more noticible on this 4/3 after its second season its little strands "pocking" out of the neoprene similar to lint balls on sweaters.
All in all they age pretty well and take a beating, keeping you consistently warm, i dont know how long should a wetsuit last but from owning multiple brands for the last 20+ years of surfing I have really liked this brand for its quality in manufacturing and materials.”

“Nice suit. Seems are sewn in glued witch worked out great almost dry inside. Well made.
Only drawback were the neck closure, arms and legs Are too small at the ends making it difficult to put on and remove.
Easy fix just cut them off. Suit did not unravel or come apart. Fantastic 2022
Suit as it’s still new in 2024.
Would Recommend Buell to anyone.”
Richard, thank you so much for taking the time to rate our RB1 PLUS Accelerator 3/2 Fullsuit with a 5-star rating. We truly appreciate your positive feedback.
We're glad to hear that the suit met your expectations and that the seams were sewn and glued, contributing to a nearly dry inside. It's fantastic to know that our suit has remained well-made and intact even after a few years of use.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the neck closure, arms, and legs being too small at the ends, making it challenging to put on and remove. However, we're glad to hear that you found an easy fix by cutting them off without causing any unraveling or damage to the suit. Please take note that altering your suit will void any warranty down the line, if you choose to go this route.
Your recommendation of Buell to others means a lot to us, and we're grateful for your support. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to providing you with excellent products and service in the future.
“Suit is very high-quality, haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but the fit around the collar is a little tight for broad shoulders and the arms are a little tight for bigger arms as well. I think it will stretch over time with use. Overall length is good for an XL”
Thank you for your 4 star rating of our RB1 PLUS. We are glad to hear that you think the suit is of high quality and appreciate your feedback about the fit. We encourage you to utilize the suit and with time it will mold to your preference. Thanks again for your rating!
