USIA dry suit finally done !!!!!!

I had a dry suit custom made from USIA  specifically for kayakers..it's the first one they have ever done like this I'm pumped to get out and test it !!!.Now I just need the seas to cooperate... I want to also mention that I ordered it from the folks at astoria scuba and kayak, AWESOME people!!!   And very cool shop

Looks awesome! Camo makes pretty much everything look great. Let us know how it works!

What fabric is the suit made of? Is it breathable or their standard diving dry suit material?

It's breathable

Looks sick. What do the feet look like and how much was it ?

Uh, oh, Wobbler's gonna want one!

+1. I'm also curious what he's asking for it. I know he wanted around 450 for a stock, non-breathable drysuit when I talked to him last. But that was before he came out with his breathable fabric. I would be curious just how this new material breathes.
I just placed an order yesterday on a Kokatat Hydrus 3L. I couldn't beat the deal Kayak Shed offered me and reviews were favorable on Kokatat's new Hydrus breathability. 

Looks awesome! Can't wait for your review!

That is awesome! I know what my next dry suit is going to look like.  That would be awesome for duck hunting in the ol' Outback.

This is what the feet look like....thanks all!! I'm pretty excited to see how it does as well...like I said this is a totally new design and a new fabric combo that they have never done before, they designed the suit to especially accommodate kayakers and I had some input with fishing conveniences in mind (IE being able to twist and move all around comfortably)  plus the additional camo touch was pretty sweet since I also duck hunt from the yak..

I was told by the owners of Astoria scuba that for what I'll be doin the breathable fabric will be fine, it only slightly leaks while under water w/pressure and after long periods of time....the suit plain with their design was $550...I added the camo, a pee zipper, the feet fabric, and reflecting tape around the wrist and ankles in total I think it was around $700

I'm looking forward to your review once you've had a chance to use it. At $700 you're not far off from a Goretex suit price.

Welp went out Friday with my longtime fishin partner/cousin "flying Portuguese " .... We probably could have made it out but it was iffy and we both were running on less than 4 hours of sleep and just weren't in the mood to get our butts handed to us by the sea...However I had to test out the new dry suit so we spent a few hours body surfing and just playing in the waves, the suit is spectacular as far as staying dry and comfortable, I couldn't be happier with it and I would recommend a USIA dry suit to anyone...the only thing I would change is I ordered it a little big (to layer up underneath ) but its a little too big and baggy so any advice to someone would be order it more form fitting and if I can this winter I'm going to try to get it altered (by USIA) to be more form fitted

Thanks for the input.  I just got my Kayak from that dive shop and am saving up for that same suit in a more visable color.  seem to be something you'd be comfortable on a warm day on the ocean with in the summer, then layer up for winter water?
