BI Ironman Suit

Hey guys,
My wife and kids really surprised me this year for xmas with a BI Ironman BF suit with the shorts. Wife went with the recommendation and got the shorts one size larger than the suit which seems counterintuitive, but after trying them on, there's no way I could've gotten away with smaller shorts. Suit feels super stiff (especially with the shorts), but I can see why the butt glide and protection should be 100 times better than my 20 year old BI suit.

What are you guys opinion of the suit? Did it break in and have a much more custom fit after the 10-12 times recommended by BI? Any tips? Would you guys recommend another suit?

Santa wanted me to have it in case the mayans were onto something.

Seriously, I don't know why I got it early, but I did. The cool thing is my daughter is getting the identical suit from Santa too. Really looking forward to being the better skier that Lane promised.

Couldn't be happier with all my b i suits!
Eagle has cooler graphics though!
But a side slides look cool no matter what suit you are wearing

Your wife did you well! You can never go wrong with BI and Eagle; both ride nice.
I bought a Intesity Suit once... it was crap. I just bought it because it was super discounted. The floatation wasn't sewn and they made tumbles etc difficult behind the boat.

I have tested that guarantee to the very limits, he WILL stand behind it.

sleeveless or short sleeves?

short sleeves don't catch on tumble turns like a sleeveless will

@Quinner. Stiff, yes, that's the way I'd describe it too. That's the only thing that has me concerned at this point. Will it loosen up.

@Glassseeker. Sleeveless. I'm not as limber as I used to be and I'm what my mother would call "big boned" so the sleeves make it that much more difficult to get into

@Larry. I need to watch those videos a few more hundred times.

Regarding the guarantee. I admire the guy's passion for his products and service, but it's just a little over the top for my personality. It is good to know tho that it isn't just hot air and that he will accept a return if a customer is unsatisfied.

Again, my only concern at this point is the stiffness especially with the shorts underneath.

Bi shorts + bi suit deepwater = kneeboard start

You will enjoy the suit - it will "break in" and be slicker than snot on a door knob

I am also in the market. To bad those vortex deals have dried up! I have my eyes on the Eagle Razor. I've left the site open on the computer and tablet... even left my shaby suit on the basement floor... lets see how this plays out.

interesting and timely

The WBC just announced it will be a dealer for Eagle and offer all the custom stuff Eagle can do, made in USA yada yada yada...

I know Roy had a zipper break on his new WBC suit and KSO was not too keen on helping out...I don't know if Roy got satisfaction but it seems maybe WBC had a quality issue

has anybody else had problems or know of problems with a WBC suit?
