    :) Is the ladies' one any good for the price? Only looking to use it during the summer really for a bit of kayaking, thanks.

    Herself is using one for the last few years. They are grand for exactly what you describe. She uses it in her kayak and for splashing about in the waves early in the summer.

    Odd question but is there any difference between the male and female ones other than size.

    I'm small and often find the mens lidl and aldi stuff is too big for me, I knwo with some things its grand getting the female but for others its shaped differently.

    In other words if I get the womens am I gonna have empty boob space and my manly bits squished.

    Well, picked up my suit this morning. Got the large size (16) and it seems to fit well (would be a 14/16 and tall), wasn't sure if it would or not. Bought some of the boots as well, normal foot sizes and size 8 fitted perfect. Was in just after they opened, had about 15 suits but only 2 large sizes. Won't get to try them out for a few weeks just yet but they seem grand for the price. ;)
