Just ordered my T3 Supernova Angler dry suit! I got a nice deal on it and it should be here Monday. Can't wait to practice righting and re-entry! Now my girlfriend won't be so worried about me when I go fishing  ;D

I realized I shouldn't be taking chances with my safety. Plus having it here by Monday for under $500 isn't so bad for a life long purchase.

I'm in the same boar and going to size suits tomorrow.  I can't decide between the Angler Hydrus material and the lightweight gore-tex.  The goretext is much more expensive but supposedly breathes much better.

Anyone with experience in both suits?

Yeah it was a discontinued color. I found it on kayak academy.com. there are other close out deals to be had! I talked them out of the $9 shipping haha. It's worth checking out.
I ordered it over the phone and the service was great. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to purchase a new drysuit.

Tropos t3 is being replaced by hydrus so there are lots of deals to be found on the tropos drysuits.  Nrs and kayak academy had good closeouts that I noticed when I was shopping.

I'm driving to kayak academy tomorrow!  Too funny... their prices do seem really good and hopefully I can find something that fits me well.  I'm between a L and XL according to the kokatat size chart due to my height.

+1 for Kayak Academy.

Their service is top notch, they have some good deals too.

I fall under the same fitting situation as you. They recommended going with the XL to allow room for insulation. My concern had to deal with dropping weight. I dedicated myself to losing weight and getting in shape and I'm 20 pounds lighter in a little over a month.
I let them know that and they said if I lose a bunch of weight I could trade the suit in for a different size possibly.
That is awesome and earned them some major points in my book.
