Can anyone tell me why this suit is only 575? The only difference I see is that it doesn't have a relief zipper. But I don't know anything about dry suits.

eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."

If you buy a drysuit without a relief zipper, you will be very, very, very, very, very sorry.

Another disadvantage of this drysuit is that it doesn't appear to have dry socks, which means that you'll get cold wet feet.  And as you know, your feet spend a lot of time in the water when fishing from a sit-on-top kayak.  The way to handle that is to buy a pair of "Sealskins" waterproof socks, and put the drysuit on over the socks (i.e. put the ankle gaskets on top of the ankles of the socks).  You can layer up fluffy warm socks under the Sealskins for warmth.  I did this extensively back in the olden days before drysuits were available with dry socks attached to them.

Clearance item with limited sizes available.
