Fantastic company i'll use again and again
What can I say about this company that hasn't been said before? Probably not a lot.
I first visited O'Three earlier this year to discuss drysuits as I was in the market for a new one, the staff were friendly and helpful, offering loads of information on the different ones they make and what would suit me personally, a week later and my order was in - 6 week lead time as it needed some adjustments due to my small stature but not quite as equally small hips and thighs.
Just under 6 weeks pass and I get a call - suit is ready to go! Come see us when you can. A few days later I turn up to try the suit on and it's too tight in the legs and bottom and too big in the shoulders, a quick chat about it and they agreed to make further adjustments to get it right over the next couple of weeks, I left disappointed but glad that they were willing to sort it out without any issues. That week I get a call from Shaun - can I pop in, before he finishes the suit up he wants to make sure its now right, as soon as I get there and put it on I can tell its now spot on, he checked everything over, double checking that he was happy with it as much as I was, then agreed I could pick it up the next weekend. Second time around, it fit like a glove!
The service is second to none and one of the best in the south and they can do just about anything to get their suits to fit those who aren't off the shelf or who want something a little more unique.
Their sizing for females is based on clothes size so easy to grab the size that should fit and their wetsuits are flexible enough they can withstand the holiday gains from a little overindulgence (I can confirm this from experience) or an extra layer underneath when needed.
Since buying my drysuit I've visited so often to add other items from their shop to my regular kit list that I'm recognised on entrance (not sure if this is a good thing! haha), they're my supplier of choice when it comes to wetsuits and drysuits and they have a customer or two for life now due to the high level of service, good level of stock held to try on and ability to adjust items to fit.
Thanks to everyone in the O'Three team for making visiting you a pleasure (although usually one that hits my bank - 1 drysuit, 1 3MM wetsuits, 1 6x5 Semi dry, 1 short john 1 longjohn and a pair of gloves later and I'm still considering one or two items more!).
See you again at the end of the month to collect the semidry!
