Have not worn Hotline but have used Cleanline for cold water gear. Good selection, good prices, excellent response.

add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

Will throw out there that the Isurus zip free works well for me and I have an injured shoulder with limited range of motion. Counter-intuitive but easier than a chest zip. The comfort and quality are excellent so far in a new full this fall and my 3 year old jacket from them looks new. They used to seem pricey and now I think they are in line with most of the market. Never had a Hotline or Buell but can say the Isurus is well ahead of Xcel and Ripcurl. Just a regular guy offering candid experience, no endorsement/incentive.

Similar results with Dakine. Oddly, the care label gives the address as Greenover Sports UK, that fills retail orders for assorted outdoor sports brands and has its own online surf shop, Green Overhead, out of a beach town in Devon. It's probably just obligatory language to sell in the UK, but I suspect a collaboration between Greenover and Oregon's Dakine (in beautiful Hood River, dry side of the Columbia River Gorge, fabulous fruit farming country).
