Thanks for all the feedback on the drysuit. I wound up going with
a GFER and will be picking it up in a couple of weeks.
Regarding the hog troughs and shirts, would they be available
to be picked up in PDX on Monday the 24th? We are comming down
from Sequim and will be in town that day.

Thanks for the advice on the wrist gaskets--I will try one of your suggestions but I have to say I admire you guys from the NW since you always seem to have a pint (I assume of microbrew)up your sleeve!

I've got a Kokatat Expidition dry suit, and I really like the visibility of having a bright red suit with the extra reflective piping that comes on the Expedition, the hoods OK, nice in a rain storm, but can get in the way at times.
If it wasn't for flashbacks, I'd have no memories at all.

I found mine on Ebay. Its a Whites full dry suit with booties and Whites boots. I was looking at drysuits and the prices were amazing. I was lucky to get this one for 200 and the guys only wore it once. In fact the suit was in it's original packing, zipper wax owner book, 3 Whites stickers (polar bears, dive dry) Blue on black color. I put it on jumped in the lake and no leaks. Awesome score.

I was almost able to pick up a similar suit kokatat for 400 but was out bid by 50 bucks but good thing I ended up with the suit I did and for half the price.

You might want to give it a try. Ebay is pretty safe to use. I have for a couple years.

Good luck

I bought my Mustang Survival  Rescue swimmers suit for around the price listed above. The EBAY transaction went perfectly.
