Currently looking for a really good priced dry suit. I'm 6'0 and near 200lbs so a large (assumption on my part), maybe an XL? I'm not really concerned with color, but that said, trying to avoid the hot pink and mauve/purple silky crotch panels.  :o I'm watching the usual places like e-Bay and Craig's List but most of the under $300 suits are for diving, and I don't think 7mm neoprene would be comfortable for kayaking. Anyhow, maybe you've got one around and been toying with selling it, or maybe this will be the prompt that would help us both. Thanks in advance and please send me a pm (with pics, condition, price, etc) if you have something. Dave

not sure if you have taken a look at these economically priced drysuits.  They recently had to retool their latex gaskets due to a bad batch but they might be worth checking out now that the problem has been fixed.    another option comparable to used suit prices.

and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."

Okay, found one online and it should be here by this weekend. Either I'll be happy because it'll fit and be perfect, or there will be one for sale next week.  :o Time will tell.

Revodave, out of curiosity what brand/model drysuit did you get?

Uncertain of the model, but got a New White's (all black), which fortunately for me and my prostate/bladder issues has a relief zipper. Then two days later bought a Stolquist (red/black) that doesn't have the relief zipper, also new, and both eBay specials. Not certain if a relief zipper could be added, but it might be less than a life time supply of Depends for men.  ???
