Jimmy Green at Beer could be an option.

I'd agree with that having given it the once over, someone is making a massive margin.

I do not consider myself an expert but having used many of the makes over the decades I actually thought Zhik was pretty nice and well made. I am using a set of their wetsuit trousers combined with a rash vest as my summer sailing kit and have found it amazingly comfortable compared to others I have used. Maybe I just got lucky?

Google suggests sailboats.co.uk and purple marine. Haven't checked their stock, but I've used both many times happily.

He might try neilpryde too. Apparently a friend of mine reckons it's as good as zhik but half the price.
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

Dave Stubbs whoo runs Coast is a great guy as well.  He might try and persuade you to buy a Magic Marine  wetsuit as that is what he uses (or did a couple of years ago when I asked him

Don't think there is that much between Zhik, Gill, Musto, Pryde & Magic Marine and ultimately you are best with the one that fits best, so if you can try various makes on and find the one that fits best that is always going to be the best option.

In my view Lennon are probably the Rolls Royce and Rooster the Ford of the market, but since you have to deal with both online, neither are really what you are after.  Don't rule out the Gul code zero kit.  It doesn't fit me very well, so I look elsewhere but there's nothing wrong with the kit.
