Aytch,

I have also been looking for drysuits for kids.  As far as I know, the only company stateside that makes them for youths is Kokatat.   They are very hard to come by used.  Trust me, I have been trying.

There are several UK companies that make them for sailing and kayaking.  Some of them are designed to be sent back as the kid grows and they add length to the suit. There also seems to be some companies that make drysuits for watersking for kids.

Actually if anyone is looking for kiddo suits I've got a couple close outs that a gal who said she is a size two  told me were too small. Might work and they are going cheap

Wouldn't a men's small work too? It might be a little big but it will still deal just fine. Jake has one of those on close out too :)

H, you get the T11 yet?

How tall would the kid need to be for it to not be ridiculous?  How much $$?

I was also in Next Adventure the other day and they had a used kids drysuit.  I don't know if it is still there, though.  It was too big for my 7 year-old, but it may work for a 10-13 y/o.

Ihop or craig I have a OS Systems suit that is a little smaller than a men's small.   A teenager was using it for water skiing.  It needs seals re-done but the suit itself is in great condition.  I would let you guys have it for $25  Here are a couple of pics of it.

Jim,

Thanks.  I would love to take a look at it but I am not sure when I can do that.  It may be a bit big for now, but he will grow into it.

Sold. Just ordered all new neck and wrist seals plus latex dry socks from NRS to make it a full kid's dry suit. Should be a fun project.

Also picked up a nice kids new dry top, used dry pants and new paddling boots from NA. Can't wait to get the grandkids on the water.

Should have two nice full setups for about $300 total, plus some elbow grease.
