I just picked up the new Dan Bailey zipper fronts which are comparable to the G4 but $300 cheaper. Ive had "issues" with my lightweight DB in the past but they have always been great about getting them fixed or sending out a new pair for a nominal cost. WHatever you buy I would make sure the warranty is solid then spend as much as you can afford. My neoprenes havent seen water for 10 years. Cheers
